Summary

Trigeminal neuralgia unresponsive to standard treatments may stem from dental issues. A case study shows successful treatment of trigeminalgia with antibiotics and laser therapy, suggesting gingival inflammation as a potential cause.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Dentistry
  • Pain Management

Context:

  • Recurrent trigeminal neuralgia often responds to conventional treatments.
  • A subset of patients requires investigation into unusual etiologies.
  • Dental prostheses can precipitate or exacerbate trigeminalgia.

Purpose:

  • To report a case of trigeminalgia secondary to dental prosthesis.
  • To highlight an unusual cause of trigeminal neuralgia.
  • To propose dental gingival mechanisms in differential diagnosis.

Summary:

  • A 74-year-old woman developed acute trigeminalgia after a dental prosthesis fitting.
  • Symptoms included spontaneous and evoked pain attacks.
  • Treatment with local antibiotics and laser coagulation resolved the condition without recurrence.

Impact:

  • Suggests gingival inflammation and prosthesis pressure as triggers for trigeminalgia.
  • Advocates for including dental gingival factors in the differential diagnosis of refractory trigeminalgia.
  • Demonstrates a successful alternative treatment for drug-resistant trigeminalgia.
