Post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain represents neuropathic pain in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve caused by trauma to the trigeminal nerve. Dental traumatic interventions, such as root-canal therapy and extractions, are reported to precede, in some cases, the onset of the disease. The current study aims to investigate how much dentists are trained to recognize, treat or properly address patients suffering from Post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain.
