Abstract

Physiotherapy can be the alternative line of treatment for orofacial pain. It can be considered and well tolerated by the patients since it is painless, but by now also the concept is quite unclear to many so implementation in dental practice is far fetched. So dental professionals should be aware of the positive benefits regarding this line of treatment and try to incorporate in the challenging cases of various orofacial pain.
