Abstract: The most important factor in the treatment of craniomandibular disorders is establishing the correct diagnosis. Identifying the specific systems associated with the diagnosis and the experience of the doctor to determine their relevance, is important. The most significant symptom that prompts the patient to look for treatment alternatives, is pain. This study examines a total of 286 patients that have been referred to the Ege University, Faculty of Dentistry, complaining of craniomandibular symptoms and evaluates the statistical relationship between pain and other symptoms. The results showed a significant correlation between occupation and gender and pain in this study group. Pain was seen in a higher percentage of women, in housewives and in teachers.
