Loose crown: May cause discomfort but usually not pain on percussion or mobility of the tooth itself. Tooth fracture: Can cause pain, but mobility is not a typical feature unless the fracture is severe. Psychosomatic: Pain perception without clinical findings, but here mobility is present, so it’s not psychosomatic. Eccentric contact: Premature or abnormal occlusal contact leads to trauma from occlusion. This causes inflammation in the periodontal ligament, resulting in pain on percussion and slight mobility.

Lacrimation during mastication, often referred to as Bogorad/s syndrome or "crocodile tears," is caused by aberrant regeneration of the auriculotemporal nerve after injury, usually due to trauma or surgery involving the parotid gland. The regenerated parasympathetic fibers intended for the parotid gland mistakenly innervate the lacrimal gland, leading to tearing instead of salivation upon eating.
