Abstract:

With the rapid development of dental implant technology, the use of oral implants to replace missing teeth has gradually become a routine restorative modality in patients with dentition defects or dentition loss. However, dental implant surgery is an invasive treatment, and the postoperative pain of surgery after implant placement occurs despite accurate evaluation and careful treatment. Postoperative pain will affect the daily life of patients, such as language communication, chewing, and swallowing, and in serious cases, even cause medical accidents. With the popularity of implant surgery, numerous patients may suffer from post-implant pain in the future. In particular, neuropathic pain after dental implants remains difficult to treat, and the efficacy of therapeutic drugs is often inaccurate, which is related to various adverse effects. This article introduces the related mechanisms of pain after dental implants, gives an overview of the treatment of pain after dental implants, and proposes potential targets for the future treatment of neuropathic pain after dental implants in the context of current research hotspots. This paper aims to provide new ideas for conducting relevant clinical studies.

Key words: dental implants, neuropathic pain, central sensitization, peripheral sensitization, target treatment
