ArticleENT Specialists and Their Role in Dental HealthOpen

Referral or shared assessment may be appropriate for suspected odontogenic sinusitis, persistent unilateral sinonasal symptoms, oroantral communication, airway or sleep-related concerns, unexplained referred otalgia, salivary or deep neck infection, voice or swallowing symptoms and pathology extending across shared anatomical regions. Urgency depends on systemic illness, airway compromise, neurological signs and the suspected diagnosis.

Editorial clinical perspective:

This adds a directly connected Orofacial Pain & TMD perspective to the current Oral Medicine & Diagnosis discussion.
