| Core Tip |
Generally in dentistry, uncomfortable occlusal sensations are a common finding among patients while Phantom bite syndrome (which is distinguishable if ever encountered) is however quite rare. These patients present with non-verifiable occlusal discrepancies with strict demands for bite correction and remarkable psychological distress. They might lead to serious consequences on patients’ life quality, relationship with family, financial loss, career disruption, or even suicidal thoughts. Recent studies have revealed unexplained diversity patterns among Phantom bite syndrome’s clinical manifestation and functional brain imaging, that likely represent the available sub-phenotypes of this syndrome. Further research must be focused on elucidating pathophysiological mechanisms, to pave the way for efficient treatment strategy. |
