“…Looking at this from another perspective, the term ‘persistent’ relates to the clinical observation that local surgical treatments to the dento-alveolar tissues is ineffective at relieving the pain symptom of this disorder, which is useful perception to promulgate at the present time given the failure of contemporary approaches to treatment. Furthermore, the term ‘persistent’ is the term recently proposed to describe a similar pain-related phenomenon presenting within the muscles of mastication (18) and is therefore a consistent terminology that can be used to expand this taxonomy. Finally, because pain in ontological terms is a symptom, this entity would better be described as a pain disorder , a specific disease entity.…”

SUMMARY Propose a new taxonomy model based on ontological principles for disorders that manifest themselves through the symptom of persistent orofacial pain and are commonly seen in clinical practice and difficult to manage. Consensus meeting of eight experts from various geographic areas representing different perspectives (orofacial pain, headache, oral medicine and ontology) as an initial step towards improving the taxonomy. Ontological principles were introduced, reviewed and applied during the consensus building process. Diagnostic criteria for persistent dento-alveolar pain disorder (PDAP) were formulated as an example to be used to model the taxonomical structure of all orofacial pain conditions. These criteria have the advantage of being (i) anatomically defined, (ii) in accordance with other classification systems for the provision of clinical care, (iii) descriptive and succinct, (iv) easy to adapt for applications in varying settings, (v) scalable and (vi) transferable for the description of pain disorders in other orofacial regions of interest. Limitations are that the criteria introduce new terminology, do not have widespread acceptance and have yet to be tested. These results were presented to the greater conference membership and were unanimously accepted. Consensus for the diagnostic criteria of PDAP was established within this working group. This is an initial first step towards developing a coherent taxonomy for orofacial pain disorders, which is needed to improve clinical research and care.

“…Emerging evidences suggest that both male and female hormones may contribute to marked gender-related differences in the occurrence of musculoskeletal pain 13 . Gender differences may be also expressed by pain processing in nociceptive pathways as well as by environmental and cultural issues 11 . Our results confirm previous findings that regions of greater pain reports are located in the upper body areas, both for males and females.…”

SUMMARY BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Assessing patients´ pain complaints is essential for determining adequate diagnosis and therapeutic interventions in orofacial pain (OFP). Thus, the aim of this study was to verify the frequency of reported pain complaints compared to those marked on patients´ body pain maps. METHOD: Data were collected from the Orofacial Pain Clinic archives (532 patients) of the Orofacial Pain Clinic, Araraquara Dental School. All individuals answered a questionnaire to report their pain complaints and completed a body map indicating their pain areas. The frequency of reported pain complaints was compared to the frequency of painful sites identified on body maps. Nine anatomic regions were considered: head, face, neck, shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, back, and legs. In addition, sensitivity, specificity and kappa values were calculated comparing the pain reports to body pain drawings, the latter being considered the golden standard. RESULTS: Mean age of total sample was 33.5 ± 13.8

“…In 2011, new terminology was suggested to better describe myogenic masticatory pain, ''Persistent Orofacial Muscle Pain'' (POMP) [16]. According to Benoliel et al, POMP involves the interaction between a peripheral nociceptive source in muscle, an altered central nervous system component and diminished coping ability by the patient.…”
