Myofascial pain with referral from the anterior digastric muscle mimicking a toothache in the mandibular anterior teeth: a case report.

Background: Non-odontogenic toothaches often present as a diagnostic dilemma to clinicians. Myofascial pain with referral from the trigger points in the masticatory muscles are one of the common causes of non-odontogenic toothaches. However, there are limited reports of myofascial pain from the anterior digastric muscle referring pain to the mandibular anterior teeth and mimicking odontogenic pain.
