[Phantom pain also following tooth extractions?]

[Article in German]
L Pöllmann. Fortschr Med. .

Abstract

The phantom phenomena affecting the extremities also seem to appear after dental extractions. Non-painful perceptions are more frequently observed than painful ones, and young people are more often affected that the elderly. The theories that postulate a central genesis would appear to be more likely than the explanation involving peripheral stimulation.
