Temporal arteritis: don't let this disease fool you.
Temporal arteritis is a disease of older individuals that manifests with variable signs, symptoms, and pain in the head and jaw. This disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis if the dentist encounters a patient with puzzling complaints that are not explained by oral and physical findings.
