Some sources list some non-specific signs that may be associated with<unk> /AO. These include increased temperature and tenderness of the mucosa in the affected area, which is otherwise normal in every regard. Patient often reports symptoms of paresthesia,<unk> , and throbbing. Physical examination may be normal, but hypoesthesia, hyperesthesia, and allodynia may be found. The features of<unk>  can be considered according to the Socrates<unk>  assessment method (see table). Parameter Usual findings in<unk><unk>  odontalgia Site The<unk>  is often poorly localized, but is usually located in the region of the maxilla (upper jaw), which is affected more than the mandibular region, although sometimes both may be affected. The<unk> s location does not correlate to the anatomic distribution of trigeminal nerve, and may be located unilaterally (more usually) or bilaterally. Sometimes the<unk>  may be seem to be located in a tooth that has been previously extracted, or associated with a previous surgical procedure. Over time the<unk>  may migrate, spontaneously or as a response to interventions, to other sites, or slowly expand. Where the teeth are involved, usually a whole quadrant is affected. Onset Usually present continuously for months or years, with intermittent periods of increased<unk> , and an overall gradual increase in<unk>  over time. Sometimes the onset may be mistakenly attributed by the individual to a dental procedure in the past. Character Usually described as dull, aching<unk> . Sometimes the<unk>  is hard to describe, and affected individuals resort to emotive words to describe the<unk> . Other descriptions include "gripping", "gnawing", "nagging", "vice-like", "crushing", "burning", "deep" or "pressure". Radiation The<unk>  may radiate in anatomically impossible ways, e.g. crossing anatomic borders such as dermatomes or the midline.<unk>  may extend to involve the temple, neck, or occipital region (the back of the head). Associations There is a strong association with depression and anxiety. Sometimes other conditions may be associated, such as irritable bowel syndrome, neck<unk> , back<unk> , pelvic<unk> , fibromyalgia, subjective xerostomia (a dry mouth symptom with no identifiable cause), dysgeusia (bad taste), headaches, dysmenorrhea (excessive period<unk> s), Chronic fatigue syndrome, or Dyspepsia. Time course<unk>  is continuous throughout the day, or less commonly may be intermittent. Exacerbating/Relieving factors No usual precipitating or relieving factors. Notably simple analgesics do not usually relieve the<unk>  and there are no "trigger zones" (as with trigeminal neuralgia).<unk>  movements also do not usually trigger the<unk> . Stress can make the<unk>  worse. Severity The intensity is variable, but usually described (by clinicians) as moderate to severe, and may be as severe as trigeminal neuralgia (but the<unk>  is of different character, especially with regards<unk>  usually being continuous rather than the paroxysmal<unk>  seen in trigeminal neuralgia). Effect on sleep<unk>  does not usually wake people from sleep. Previous treatment Possibly multiple failed attempts at previous medical and/or dental treatment, e.g. tooth extraction. Sometimes a treatment may provide temporary relief, only for the<unk>  to return days or weeks later, or in a different part of the face.
