Sumario: | While the mouth and teeth play a lifelong central role in a person’s development and wellbeing, psychosocial aspects of disease and health are still only reluctantly included in dental explanatory models. Only dental anxiety with its disease quality of a specific phobia is generally recognized as a mental disorder requiring intervention. It is interpreted as an emotional reaction to aspects of dental treatment, which results in distress for the affected person and appears to be unreasonably intense given the actual dangers involved. Apart from that, the tendency to provide a somatic explanation for symptoms in the dental context persists. This bears implications for the expectations of those affected as well as for interdisciplinary cooperation. In order to improve interdisciplinary support and mutual understanding, the following article introduces the clinical pictures of craniomandibular dysfunction, bruxism, occlusal dysaesthesia, and somatoform prosthesis intolerance alongside dental anxiety. Psychosocial factors can profoundly influence the development, course, and management of these conditions. |
