Abstract

Objective: To establish the bidirectional relationship between chronic orofacial pain and sleep quality.

Material and Methods:  A systematic search was carried out in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Scielo from 2015 to 2020; the inclusion criteria were articles in English and Spanish, keywords found in titles and abstracts, meta-analysis, and systematic reviews. On the other hand, the exclusion criteria were perspective articles, not related to the study area, clinical cases, thesis, those articles older than 5 years, and reviews with little related content and access denied. 

Results: Studies were assessed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as the risk of bias. The total of articles found was 1,059, of which 12 were selected. 

Conclusion: There is bidirectionality between chronic orofacial pain and sleep quality, however, the understanding of the mechanism of this interaction should be further investigated in studies that explore the development of painful states in sleep disorders, including pharmacological studies, to improve knowledge about specific treatments.
