title: [Severe odontalgic pain preceding migraine attacks].
abstract: A 30-year-old woman appeared at the gnathology department of a centre for special dentistry complaining of migraine attacks which were preceded each time by severe odontalgic pain. Furthermore, she suffered from an autoimmune disease as well as from tension headaches. The oral health care provider in charge suspected that the episodes of odontalgic pain, which lasted for several hours or even several days, were caused by bruxism. Treatment of the bruxism resulted in reduced pain as well as reduced severity of the migraine attacks.
