title: A review of neuropathic pain conditions affecting teeth.
abstract: Occasionally, dentists must face the complex challenge of diagnosing and treating pain of a neuropathic origin in the orofacial region, since persistent and chronic pain is more common in the head and neck region than in any other part of the body. This article reviews various neuropathic pain conditions that affect orofacial structures (including teeth) and are of clinical significance to dental and endodontic practice.
