Clinical update--the teeth and the maxillary sinus: the mutual impact of clinical procedures, disease conditions and their treatment implications. Part 3. But doctor, my ear hurts.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) can present as an array of symptoms that can mimic both odontogenic and ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disorders. Dentists need to be alert to the possibility of primary ENT disorders in patients who present with TMD symptoms, as should ENT physicians be familiar with the clinical presentation of TMD, especially in those patients who present with ENT symptoms but no sign of ENT disease.
