title: [Manifestations of orofacial pain. Preface].
abstract: Pain is possibly the most common reason for patients to seek dental help, and is, therefore, a phenomenon with which dentists are frequently confronted. This special issue of the Dutch Dental Journal considers several aspects of orofacial pain as they are presented by patients. Both common and less frequent disorders causing pain in the orofacial area are described and discussed.
