[Otologic signs, craniofacial pain and dental malocclusion].
An occlusal problem can explain otologic symptoms and myofacial pains. A dental and an occlusal examination is necessary to find the true mechanism. If the occlusal examination is not immediately possible, the scheme of the biting retro incisive helps to the diagnosis, in motter to put in place a treatment. In this complete study with a backward regard of 79 patients, 62 have been treated with a total success.
