The right occlusal muscle pain should be considered whether it is caused by odontogenic infection, or temporomandibular joint disorder, trigeminal neuralgia.
1. Odontogenic infection: periapical infection or wisdom tooth pericoronitis in the right posterior region can cause the gap of the bite muscle to be infected, resulting in occlusal pain, which should be treated with antibiotics, such as ceftriaxone sodium, to counteract the infection.
2. Temporomandibular joint disorder: it may be caused by various factors such as overloading of joints or poor occlusion, and the biting muscle pain occurs when opening and closing the mouth. Treatment should identify the cause of the disease and treat the cause. Localized hot compresses and physiotherapy can be used to relieve pain.
3. Trigeminal neuralgia: the sensory branch of trigeminal nerve includes frontal branch, maxillary branch and mandibular branch, so if the right trigeminal neuralgia will lead to pain in the right occlusal muscle area. Treatment can choose carbamazepine analgesic treatment or peripheral branch of trigeminal nerve severance.
If the above symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital to find out the cause of the disease, standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor, and follow the doctor’s prescription for the use of drugs.
