"' Atypical odontalgia "'( "'AO "') is very similar in many respects to AFP, with some sources treating them as the same entity, and others describing the former as a sub-type of AFP . Generally, the term AO may be used where the pain is confined to the teeth or gums, and AFP when the pain involves other parts of the face.
