The specialist management of non-temporomandibular orofacial pain: maxillofacial surgery ’s known unknown?

In this study we aimed to provide an overview of the healthcare “journey” of a group of patients referred to a specialist unit with “complex” non-temporomandibular orofacial pain. We retrospectively reviewed all those who were referred over a six-month period and followed for up to three years. A total of 133 were included, 69% were female, and the mean (SD) duration of symptoms before assessment was 66.4 (88.8) months.
