Abstract:

Dental implants are preferred in the restoration of missing teeth. With the explosive growth in the number of dental implants, the incidence of surgical complications has increased. Post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain (PTNP) caused by implant surgery is a serious complication in the oral and maxillofacial regions and cannot be ignored in the application of implant prosthesis. The pathological mechanism of PTNP remains unclear, and no unified standard for clinical treatment is available. This article is a systematic review on the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of PTNP, providing a reference for clinical management strategies for PTNP.

Key words: dental implant, trigeminal nerve, nerve injury, post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain
