[Psychogenic oral paresthesia].

Psychogenic oral paresthesia represent a proteiform condition, more and more frequent. The failure to recognize it can lead to unjustified investigations or/and procedures. These manifestations are secondary to a psychic problem which varies in severity. In most cases, the establishment of a trust relationship, explanations to the patient and eventually a psychotherapy are sufficient to eliminate the symptoms. In severe cases, a psychotherapy or a psychiatric treatment are almost always necessary.
