Abstract

There are many patients who have ‘medically and psychiatrically unexplained symptoms’ in clinical dentistry. These symptoms are called “Oral Psychosomatic Disorders’’. It is not uncommon to see the patients with these conditions, so there is a growing need for proper management of these disorders from both sides of doctors and patients. So it becomes important to have identity as a dentist on practice of psychosomatic dentistry. This article reviews various psycho therapies for stress management towards establishment of ‘Psychosomatic Dentistry’.

Keywords: Psychosomatic disorders, Emotional stress, Behavioral medicine.
