title: [Psychosomatic findings in orofacial pain dysfunction syndrome].
abstract: Patients with orofacial pain dysfunction syndrome cannot be treated in a satisfactory manner by looking at them with a monocausal, linear analytical point of view in the sense of aristotelian logic. In this interdisciplinary study 10 patients were investigated by dental and functional diagnostic procedures, by psychological testing and by psychoanalytically oriented interview technique. It became evident that only the consideration of psychosomatic aspects during dental practice can bring relief for these patients.
