Despite decades of clinical recognition, OD remains poorly understood, frequently misdiagnosed and inconsistently managed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To map the existing literature on OD, identify conceptual and mechanistic knowledge gaps, and outline research priorities to advance understanding and improve clinical care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A scoping review was conducted in accordance with Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. Seven electronic databases (Ovid Medline, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, PsycInfo, Web of Science and Cochrane Library) were searched for English\u2010language publications from 1976 to January 2026. Eligible sources included clinical studies, case reports\/series, reviews, book chapters, and editorials addressing abnormal occlusal perception not attributable to structural pathology. Two reviewers independently screened records and full texts, with discrepancies resolved by consensus.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty\u2010six articles were included. The literature was dominated by non\u2010empirical reports. Most clinical research studies originated from Japan. Psychophysical studies did not demonstrate altered occlusal discrimination thresholds in individuals with OD, while psychological distress and depressive symptoms were consistently reported. Limited neuroimaging evidence suggested altered central processing, particularly involving prefrontal regions. No validated diagnostic criteria or standardized management strategies were identified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Available evidence supports conceptualizing OD as a heterogeneous condition involving altered central processing and occlusal perception rather than a primary occlusal abnormality. Rigorous multidisciplinary and multimodal research integrating psychophysics, psychological assessment, and advanced neuroimaging is urgently needed to improve education and inform evidence\u2010based diagnosis and management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/joor.70224","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,30]],"date-time":"2026-05-30T06:01:35Z","timestamp":1780120895000},"page":"1746-1756","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Occlusal Dysesthesia: Identifying Knowledge Gaps to Advance Clinical Care"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Sara A.","family":"Esmat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Multimodal Sensorimotor and Pain Research Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto  Toronto Ontario Canada"},{"name":"University of Toronto Centre for the Study of Pain  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3524-4035","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helen","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dentistry Library University of Toronto  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9708-6765","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iacopo","family":"Cioffi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Multimodal Sensorimotor and Pain Research Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto  Toronto Ontario Canada"},{"name":"University of Toronto Centre for the Study of Pain  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365\u20102842.2012.02300.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/joor.12309"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/joor.12950"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5498\/wjp.v11.i11.1053"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0002\u20109416(76)90319\u20105"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.135.4.476"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022\u20103913(83)90322\u20100"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0011-8532(22)02192-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","volume-title":"Neuropathic Pain","author":"Leeuw R.","year":"2018"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41415\u2010022\u20104406\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bdj.2017.252"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychores.2014.11.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpor.2015.11.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.sodo.2023.12.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_16_1","first-page":"43","volume-title":"Functional Occlusion in Restorative Dentistry and Prosthodontics","author":"Palla S.","year":"2015"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_11_17_1","first-page":"2","article-title":"Occlusal Neurotic or Neuroticongenic Occlusion","volume":"13","author":"Mahan P.","year":"1995","journal-title":"Cranio"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41415\u2010025\u20108402\u20103"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14219\/jada.archive.1996.0172"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_11_20_1","first-page":"33","article-title":"Occlusal Dysesthesia and Temporomandibular Disorders: Is There a Link?","volume":"96","author":"Clark G.","year":"2003","journal-title":"Alpha Omegan"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/19424396.2007.12221218"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jep.13740"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pec.2024.108198"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-319-51508-3_17"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bdj.4811613"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_11_26_1","first-page":"38","article-title":"Phantom Bite: A Survey of US Orthodontists","volume":"12","author":"Ligas B.
