Abstract: Currently, occlusal dysesthesia(OD) is considered as a derivative form of somatoform disorder. Its symptoms are mainly manifested in the oral area, mostly due to the undetermined occlusal discomfort, which may be triggered by previous dental treatment. In order to diagnose and treat such patients in clinical practice as early as possible, this article will review occlusal dysesthesia from the aspects of epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic criteria, treatment and prognosis.
