Abstract
Orofacial pain is a comprehensive and multi-faceted syndrome. After dental causes have been excluded, neurologists are challenged to diagnose the cause of pain. The paper gives a detailed review of one of the most common causes of facial pain - temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Current DC/TMD diagnostic criteria, patient examination protocols and a new perspective on TMD pathophysiology based on the recent neurological studies are presented. The article also discusses modern approaches to TMD management.
