This resolution is particularly relevant in the perspective of the high prevalence of untreated oral diseases. However, one important aspect has been mentioned only in passing, namely that poor oral health often leads to orofacial pain, which is the most common reason for emergency dental visits worldwide. Therefore, an evidence-based decision-making process on oral health should include data related to orofacial pain complaints. To that end, the availability of reliable and valid assessment tools of orofacial pain and related treatment outcomes is essential. INfORM (International Network for Orofacial Pain and Related Disorders Methodology) of the International Association for Dental Research has been one of the driving forces behind the development and implementation of comprehensive sets of tools for such assessments. However, as a prerequisite for the desired global implementation, reliable and valid tools that are also brief, easy to translate, and culturally adaptable need to be further developed and tested. Some of the groundwork to facilitate this process has already been carried out. In addition, a working group within INfORM has developed a short clinical assessment tool for orofacial pain diagnostics that is near completion and will soon be ready for dissemination. Ultimately, reliable and valid orofacial pain assessment is a necessary step toward the development and implementation of appropriate \u201cbest buy\u201d interventions that address this major driver of need for oral health care worldwide.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00220345221110443","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,27]],"date-time":"2022-07-27T01:00:57Z","timestamp":1658883657000},"page":"1549-1553","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["The Global Need for Easy and Valid Assessment Tools for Orofacial Pain"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"101","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9877-7640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"F.","family":"Lobbezoo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orofacial Pain and Dysfunction, Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6677-7897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G.","family":"Aarab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orofacial Pain and Dysfunction, Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6224-273X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"F.P.","family":"Kapos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development, Seattle Children\u2019s Research Institute, Seattle, WA, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1896-5412","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.F.","family":"Dayo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine, School of Dental Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5656-2446","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Z.","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orofacial Pain and Dysfunction, Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4939-0321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Koutris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orofacial Pain and Dysfunction, Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.A.","family":"Peres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Dental Research Institute Singapore, National Dental Centre Singapore, Singapore"},{"name":"Oral Health ACP, Health Services and Systems Research Programme, Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8544-6495","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Thymi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orofacial Pain and Dysfunction, Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6088-3739","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B.","family":"H\u00e4ggman-Henrikson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orofacial Pain and Jaw Function, Malm\u00f6 University, Malm\u00f6, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00220345221110443","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(21)01404-5"},{"key":"bibr2-00220345221110443","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/j.pain.0000000000001311"},{"key":"bibr3-00220345221110443","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034516648088"},{"key":"bibr4-00220345221110443","unstructured":"FDI World Dental Federation. 2022.
