At the Center for Dental and Oral Medicine and Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery of the University of Zurich, a new interdisciplinary pain consulting service was established in early 2005 due to the increasing number of referrals of orofacial pain patients to the center. This unit comprises specialists of various dental and medical disciplines as well as psychologists and physical therapists. This article highlights the most common clinical pictures of chronic orofacial pain patients and describes the organizational mechanisms associated with referrals to our interdisciplinary pain service.
