Özet

Purpose: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), is a disease that is located along one or more of the trigeminal nerve branch which is usually characterized by repetitive pain in the form of knife stab and is triggered by chewing and manipulation of gingiva. The initial atypical symptoms of TN pains are called pre-trigeminal neuralgia (PTN). The purpose of this study is by defining symptoms of oral PTN better, to understand the difference between PTN and odontogenic toothache and to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of microvascular decompression (MVD) method in TN.
