[Multidisciplinary treatment of orofacial pain and dysfunction after a transoral condylectomy: the role of pain, sleep, and psychotrauma].

A 45-year-old woman continued to suffer from an open bite, pain in the left temporomandibular joint, jaw muscle tightness, and ringing in both ears 6 months after an unilateral left condylectomy. A recovery surgery was planned to treat the open bite and she was referred to the department for Orofacial Pain and Dysfunction for treatment of the pain complaints, muscle tightness, and ringing in the ears. At this department she was diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders.
