    AbstractThe past several decades have heralded new insights into the many ramifications of pain. The mind-body connection must be appreciated in the assessment and care of the temporomandibular disorder/orofacial pain patient. Recognizing key indicators of psychological distress and their impact on the total pain experience is essential to optimizing treatment outcomes.
