Abstract : A case of non-odontogenic toothache associated with periapical periodontitis is described. Myofacial pain (MFP) of masticatory muscles is widely believed to be the most frequently occurring orofacial pain of non-odontogenic toothache. It has also long been known that MFP could mimic pulpitic symptoms. Past studies have shown that MFP is a relatively prevalent condition among the general population and that it is most often misdiagnosed by dentists as odontogenic toothache. This case report describes an examination, diagnosis and treatment plan to overcome a case of myofacial pain syndrome with non-odontogenic toothache accompanying periapical periodontitis.
