The main objective of this review was to identity the usage of thermography in diagnosis of orofacial pain. Thermography is a method of measurement of skin temperature distribution on the body over a given period of time. Hence using the skin temperature, an advantages result can be obtained in identifying diseased condition in orofacial region. This article highlights the basics of thermography as a diagnostic tool in dentistry in identifying orofacial pain. PUBMED and Google Scholar were searched to identify all the clinical trials which evaluated the use of thermography in diagnosis of orofacial pain. The included studies involved 6 clinical trials. From all the included studies, an advantages result was obtained by using thermography in assessing orofacial disorders between symptomatic and asymtomatic patient’s. All the findings obtained, suggest that thermography can be helpful in evaluating myogenous temperomandibular joint disorder and can be used as a clinical screening method and for improving diagnostic accuracy. In few studies, the sensitivity of thermography in the diagnosis of orofacial disorder is low, but has high specificity which helped in evaluation of orofacial disorder and is therefore applicable to patients with orofacial pain. Thermography benefits by locating the temperature difference between symptomatic and asymtomatic facial region thus indicating its aid in diagnoses of orofacial disorder. However due to liminted evidence and short term studies, it is recommended that more of long term studies with large sample size should be emphasised to use thermography as routine diagnostic tool in identifying orofacial disorder.

Skin Temperatures

This prospective longitudinal study assessed whether baseline mean skin temperature measurements are useful in predicting the most common foot-related complications of diabetes mellitus. We evaluated the mean of baseline skin temperatures taken bilaterally from six plantar sites in 1,588 patients with diabetes. There was no difference in skin temperature based on neuropathy, foot laterality, or foot risk category or between people with and without foot deformity and elevated plantar foot pressure. Whereas people with Charcot’s arthropathy had slightly but significantly higher mean temperatures (84.8° ± 3.5° F versus 82.5° ± 4.7° F), this was not true for those who developed ulcers or infections or who underwent amputations. The presence of vascular disease was not associated with lower skin temperatures. Mexican Americans (83.0° ± 4.6° F) and blacks (83.6° ± 4.5° F) had higher mean skin temperatures at baseline than did non-Hispanic whites (81.8° ± 4.6° F). Baseline measurement of nonfocal mean skin temperatures is not an effective means of screening people for future events. Regular assessment of skin temperatures, using the contralateral site as a physiologic control, may be a better use of this technology. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 93(6): 443-447, 2003)

Elicited imitation tasks are frequently used as a diagnostic tool in evaluating children with communication handicaps. This article presents a scoring procedure that can be used to obtain an in-depth descriptive analysis of responses produced on elicited imitation tasks. The Elicited Language Analysis Procedure makes it possible to systematically evaluate responses in terms of both their syntactic and semantic relationships to the stimulus sentences presented by the examiner. Response quality measures are also included in the analysis procedure.
