چکیده
Ear pain, also known as earache or otalgia, is pain in the ear. The pain that originates inside the ear is called as Primary ear pain or otogenic otalgia. It can be caused by disease in the inner, middle, or external ear, but the three are difficult to distinguish in terms of the pain experienced [1]. If ear pain arises from pathologies in surrounding structures it is called as secondary or referred otalgia. 50 percent of secondary otalgia results from dental causes [2].
