Atypical facial pain: the consistency of ipsilateral. Maxillary area tenderness and elevated temperature



MH Friedman
New York Medical College, Valhalla, USA.

A consistent zone of ipsilateral tenderness adjacent to the maxillary molar root apices often is present in patients with atypical facial pain. The author performed bilateral palpation and recorded the temperature of this area on 18 consecutive patients with facial pain. He found tenderness and increased temperature on the involved side of the face in 15 and 17 patients, respectively. In two control groups of 10 patients without pain and 10 TMD patients, he observed no significant association between maxillary tenderness and increased temperature.
