Online published on 31 August, 2016. Abstract Psychosomatic disorders are defined as disorders characterized by physiological changes that originate partially from emotional factors. This article aims to discuss the psychosomatic disorders of the oral cavity with a revised working type classification. The author has added one more subset to the existing classification, i.e., disorders caused by altered perception of dentofacial form and function, which include body dysmorphic disorder. The author has also inserted delusional halitosis under the miscellaneous disorders classification of psychosomatic disorders and revised the already existing classification proposed for the psychosomatic disorders pertaining to dental practice. After the inclusion of the subset (disorders caused by altered perception of dentofacial form and function), the terminology “psychosomatic disorders of the oral cavity ” is modified to “psychosomatic disorders pertaining to dental practice ”. Top Keywords Clinical presentation, dental practice, psychosomatic disorders, revised classification. Top |
