Trigeminal neuralgia and some considerations in practice dentistry clinic
Purpose: To generate interest in the dental professional regarding trigeminal neuralgia and the role it can assume in the timely care of the patient and its prevention during some dental procedures that could trigger it.
Description: In dental practice, the demand of dentists with competence for opportune diagnosis and establishment of treatment is high. Some pathological conditions are occasionally not of direct interest to the dentist in their list of priorities, however, everything and that concerns the stomatognathic system and its operation should be considered relevant, particularly with regard to the Trigeminal Nerve (V cranial nerve), responsible for transmitting sensations to the mouth, teeth, face, nasal cavity and innervation of chewing muscles. Some conditions can cause Trigeminal Neuralgia, a painful and disabling condition, which can affect quality of life.
Points of view: In clinical care, it is important to reflect on the anatomy of the trigeminal nerve and on trigeminal neuralgia, its definition, characteristics, classification, etiology, diagnostic considerations, the relationship between the dentist, the dental consultation and the patients with trigeminal neuralgia, as well as decision-making in the treatment and intervention of the dentist for this condition.
Conclusions: Knowledge of the triggering factors, signs, symptoms and therapeutic alternatives allow the dentist to contribute to interacting in an active and interdisciplinary way with the care team; even more so when it is one of the main nerves that can be influenced during dental treatments.
