Abstract
Pain or discomfort in the orofacial region usually has an organic and easily detectable cause. When an organic cause is absent or its magnitude is less than expected after the degree of concern expressed by the patient, a psychiatric factor must be considered. In such cases psychiatric treatment should be arranged to complement any necessary organic therapy.
