Abstract
The purpose of this study is to achieve an update of the relationship between somatic tinnitus and orofacial pain. For that aim we analyze the papers published of this symptom, explaining the proposed pathophysiological hypothesis that try to explain how the Dorsal Cochlear Nucleus plays a key role in the tinnitus development. We also make an approach to the most important clinical characteristics for the dentist wich allows us the development of the protocol described by Levine for its correct diagnosis and at last expose the different therapeutic options proposed in scientific researches for its management and treatment from a multidisciplinary approach.
