Abstract
The etiology of trigeminal neuralgia is poorly understood. Many patients develop neuralgiform types of pain from oral and dental pathoses. This is a report of a case of a 30-yr-old patient with a diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia, who was treated with carbamazepine by a neurologist without alleviation of symptoms. The patient was then seen in the Maxillofacial Pain Control Center. After a complete oral and dental examination, a diagnosis of necrosis of the dental pulp of a lower molar was made. Endodontic treatment was instituted and the symptoms gradually disappeared. After two months, the pain was completely eliminated.
