Abstract
Tension type headache is considered to manifest occur due to hypertension of masticatory muscles induced by occlusal discrepancy. Aural symptoms are also considered to occur due to hypertension of masticatory muscles or fatigue related to them. Burning mouth syndrome and glossodynia are considered to be caused by chorda tympani squeezed between malleus and incus.
