The Cognitive and Emotional Aspect in Fibromyalgia: The Importance of the Orofacial Sphere
- 01Recognize TMJ dysfunction and teeth grinding as common fibromyalgia symptoms
- 02Consider periodontitis as a potential contributor to systemic and neuroinflammation
- 03Monitor the link between oral health and cognitive functions in patients
- 04View orofacial pain as a potential red flag for central sensitization
Jaw dysfunction and oral health issues may be linked to fibromyalgia and should be considered during clinical evaluations of the condition.
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a systemic and multifactorial disease of unknown etiology. There are many co-morbidities that the patient presents, making the clinical picture not immediate. Cognitive decline and emotional alteration (anxiety and depression) are found in fibromyalgic patients, as well as temporomandibular joint arthrokinematic disorders, dental malocclusion, and periodontitis. There seems to be a biunivocal relationship between oral and psychiatric dysfunctions in fibromyalgia. The article reviews the information regarding oral health alterations with respect to the patient's cognitive and emotional response, as the most recent information we have raises new hypotheses about the diagnosis of FMS.
