Medullary and odontogenic disease in the painful jaw: clinicopathologic review of 500 consecutive lesions.
Ischemic jawbone lesions were first discussed in the dental literature more than a century ago, but then seemingly forgotten. In recent years, there has been considerable resurgence in interest in this unique pathological condition. Controversy surrounds the subject. Some proclaim these lesions to be mere fabrications of the imaginations of non-traditional or alternative dental surgeons. Others attribute all human maladies to these maxillofacial lesions. Aside from these philosophical and metaphysical arguments, are there common diagnoses of jawbone pathologies that produce pain? This present investigation reviews the clinicopathologic features of 500 consecutive jawbone surgeries with pathological confirmation in patients with idiopathic facial pain. Four hundred seventy-six (476) of the 500 lesions (95.2%) were directly attributed to impaired blood flow in the jawbone, tooth, or both, according to histopathological analysis and confirming Cavitat (bone ultrasound) examination. Statistical data concerning the location, frequency, and pathological diagnoses of these bony lesions are presented, as are brief methods of diagnosis, and treatment is also discussed.

Nociceptive trigeminal inhibition--tension suppression system: a method of preventing migraine and tension headaches.
Dentists and physicians see countless patients suffering from various types of headaches. Various modes of therapy are used in an attempt to treat these patients. As a result of this study, it appears that a common factor to migraine and tension-type headaches may be chronic clenching. If this is the case, then dentists may be able to treat headache patients more effectively than previously suspected through the use of a dental appliance.
