Trigeminal neuralgia with intraoral trigger points: report of two cases

Jude A Fabiano et al. Spec Care Dentist. 2005 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

A variety of pathologic conditions can cause orofacial pain. Establishing the etiology of the pain is key to providing appropriate treatment. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a relatively uncommon condition and can present a diagnostic challenge to even the experienced dental practitioner. The authors discuss two cases of TN that exhibited intraoral trigger points, which initially resulted in confusion regarding the establishment of a correct diagnosis and treatment.
