  2. Atypical trigeminal neuralgia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atypical_trigeminal_neuralgia

    The trigeminal nerve.. ATN is usually attributed to inflammation or demyelination, with increased sensitivity of the trigeminal nerve.These effects are believed to be caused by infection, demyelinating diseases, or compression of the trigeminal nerve (by an impinging vein or artery, a tumor, dental trauma, accidents, or arteriovenous malformation) and are often confused with dental problems.

  3. Inferior alveolar nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_alveolar_nerve

    These high risk wisdom teeth can be further assessed using cone beam CT imaging to assess and plan surgery to minimise nerve injury by careful extraction or undertaking a coronectomy procedure in healthy patients with healthy teeth. [9] The risk of nerve injury in relation to mandibular dental implants is not known but it is a recognised risk ...

  4. Dental extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_extraction

    The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), a branch of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), is a nerve that runs through the mandible (lower jaw) and supplies sensation to all the lower teeth, the lip and the chin. The lower teeth, and in particular the lower wisdom teeth, can therefore be in close proximity to this nerve.

  5. Trigeminal neuralgia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_neuralgia

    The trigeminal nerve is a mixed cranial nerve responsible for sensory data such as tactition (pressure), thermoception (temperature), and nociception (pain) originating from the face above the jawline; it is also responsible for the motor function of the muscles of mastication, the muscles involved in chewing but not facial expression.

  6. Coronectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronectomy

    When extracting lower wisdom teeth, coronectomy is a treatment option involving removing the crown of the lower wisdom tooth, whilst keeping the roots in place in healthy patients. This option is given to patients as an alternative to extraction when the wisdom teeth are in close association with the inferior alveolar nerve , and so used to ...

  7. Occlusal trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusal_trauma

    Occlusal trauma; Secondary occlusal trauma on X-ray film displays two lone-standing mandibular teeth, the lower left first premolar and canine. As the remnants of a once full complement of 16 lower teeth, these two teeth have been alone in opposing the forces associated with mastication for some time, as can be evidenced by the widened PDL surrounding the premolar.

  8. Infiltration analgesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiltration_analgesia

    The inferior alveolar nerve to anaesthetise all of the teeth in the mandibular arch; The long buccal nerve which supplies the soft tissue buccally to the mandibular molars; The lingual nerve which anaesthetising stops sensation to the lingual aspect of the gingiva, floor of the mouth and the tongue to the midline on that particular side

    She experienced partial relief of symptoms after recovery. Examination of the resected nerve fibers showed loss of both myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers, this is a possible explanation for the symptoms associated with NTS, however, further study is needed for a definitive answer. [ 14 ]
