- Abstract
- Chronic toothache with no specific cause, no standardized characteristics, have been called ‘Atypical Odontalgia(AO)’. Recently, it has been replaced by the term 'persistent dentoalveolar pain disorder (PDAP)'.
Since patients have various causative factors and their symptoms are diverse, it is also a challenge for clini-cians to make an accurate diagnosis. PDAP is a persistent pain, and various aspects appear. There are no special triggers, exacerbation or alleviation factors, no response to anesthesia tests and dental treatment. The purpose of this study is to assist clinicians in diagnosing patients with unexplained tooth pain by examining the clinical characteristics, differential factors, and treatment of PDAP.
