  • Clinical characteristics were compared with existing literature.
  • Three detailed case reports are presented.

Findings:

  • Tricyclic antidepressants demonstrated efficacy in managing atypical odontalgia.
  • Potential medication side effects and interactions were identified.
  • A conservative approach, deferring invasive procedures, is recommended.

Implications:
