Differential Diagnosis of
Dental Diseases

Priya Verma Gupta

Preface
Two decades back dental surgery was a growing branch
but now it has grown up well. Previously dental surgeons
used to prefer extraction of tooth but now they are being
paid to save the tooth. In order to achieve they should be
able to assess, diagnose the disease and treat accordingly.
To differentiate two similar dental diseases one should
know the pros and cons of the specific disease which will
help the students and clinicians.
I would like to thank my mentors Drs (Profs) N Sridhar
Shetty and Amita Hegde for the knowledge given to me
by them.
There is always some scope to improve upon and for
that healthier suggestions are always welcome.
I am thankful to Shri Jitendar P Vij, Chairman and
Managing Director, Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers,
for giving me the opportunity to write this book.

Abstract
Pain in the orofacial region is a common presenting symptom. The majority of symptoms are related to dental disease and the cause can readily be established, the problem dealt with, and the pain eliminated. However, pain may persist and defy attempts at treatment. Intractable oral or facial pain can be diagnostically challenging. To make a definitive diagnosis and initiate proper treatment, a rigorous protocol for evaluation includes a thorough history and an appropriate comprehensive clinical examination and diagnostic testing, including chief complaint, history of present illness, medical history, physical examination, diagnostic studies, including imaging, and psychosocial evaluation.
