Borreliosis-associated orofacial pain: A case report

Borreliosis-associated orofacial pain: A case report Swiss Dent J. 2018 12 10;(12):969-973 Authors: Burkhard JPM, Lädrach K, Iizuka T, Gerber S Abstract Lyme borreliosis is a prevalent disease with a wide variety of clinical manifestations. However, only a few pertinent references are found in the dental literature. Considering the diversity of differential diagnoses, borreliosis-associated orofacial pain may be a challenge for treatment providers and patients alike. The aim of this case report is to emphasize the importance of a sound, structured medical history and assessment to identify severe cases early and to start interdisciplinary therapy if indicated.
