ABSTRACT

Atypical odontalgia is a pain disorder featured by constant pain without any obvious dental pathology. We report a 38-year-old man having chronic orofacial pain in the past two years. The pain was first located in the left maxillary premolar-molar region, but spread to the contra lateral mandible, occipital region, head and shoulders over time. The pain was described as dull and continuous with the intensity of #6 (VAS), and not relieved even after root canal therapy of all teeth and extraction of wisdom teeth . Some comorbid conditions such as TMJ problems and involvement of masticatory muscles were also reported. Finally, the diagnosis of atypical odontalgia was established due to lack of evidence for any organic pathology on clinical and paraclinical investigations, and a combination therapy including fluoxetine and clonazepam was started. Dental practitioners should consider AO when confronting toothache without any reasonable organic cause and avoid unnecessary dental procedures (AU)


A odontalgia atípica (OA) é um distúrbio doloroso caracterizado por uma dor constante sem qualquer patologia dentária óbvia. Relatamos um homem de 38 anos com dor orofacial crônica nos últimos dois anos. A dor foi inicialmente localizada na região pré-molar-molar superior esquerdo, mas se espalhou para o lado oposto da mandíbula, região occipital, cabeça e ombros ao longo do tempo. A dor foi descrita como maçante e contínua com a intensidade de # 6 (EVA), e não aliviada mesmo após tratamento de canal de todos os dentes e extração dos dentes do siso. Algumas comorbidades como problemas de ATM e envolvimento dos músculos mastigatórios também foram relatadas. Finalmente, o diagnóstico de odontalgia atípica foi estabelecido devido à falta de evidência para qualquer patologia sistêmica nas investigações clínicas e exames complementares, e uma terapia combinada incluindo fluoxetina e clonazepam foi iniciada. Os dentistas devem considerar OA ao enfrentar uma dor de dente sem qualquer causa sistêmica razoável e evitar procedimentos odontológicos desnecessários (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome [EEC] is a rare syndrome with features of ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cleft lip/palate. This study presents an Iranian case with classic features and oral complications


Case: We report a 20-year old female with all manifestations of this syndrome. The simultaneous presence of these three malformations is extremely rare; the incidence is estimated to be 1.5 per 100.000.000 births


Conclusion: Oral hygiene management of patients with EEC syndrome is important and dental practitioners need to know the oral and dental conditions presenting with this syndrome
