Persistent, neuropathic-like trigeminal pain after dental implant loading.
Authors
Abstract
Painful post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathy (PTTN) is a known complication of dental implant therapy. Besides cases resulting of nerve damage during surgery or implant placement, some patients report delayed neuropathic-like symptoms only after implant loading i.e. crown placement. The present retrospective study aimed at describing the clinical features of pain experienced by these patients.
