Preauricular pain is often referred from?

Frontal sinuses
Maxillary canines
Mandibular molars
The temporal region

The correct answer is: Mandibular molars

Preauricular pain can be caused by referred pain from the mandibular molars. This is due to the close proximity of the mandibular molars to the preauricular area, making it a common source of referred pain. The other options, such as the frontal sinuses, maxillary canines, and the temporal region, may also cause pain in the preauricular area, but they are not as commonly associated with referred pain as the mandibular molars. Therefore, they are considered incorrect options.
