Features of trigeminal nerve damage in dental practice: emergency care.

Abstract

Summary. Usually, the clinical basis of neurostomatological diseases is the lesion of various parts of the nervous system that provide innervation of the oral cavity and face. The main nerves whose damage leads to the development of neurostomatological diseases are the trigeminal, facial, intermediate, lingual, vagus and hyoid nerves. Among them, the trigeminal nerve system is most often affected. The causes can be odontogenic diseases  such as pathological processes of the dentition and ineffective or incorrect methods of their treatment (traumatic complex tooth extraction, including the presence of bone fragments, root remnants in the socket, pulpitis and periodontitis, galvanisation phenomena when using various methods for filling and prosthetics, poorly made dentures, gingivitis, etc.) In the lecture, we tried to highlight the lesions of the trigeminal nerve system in dental diseases, emergency care, treatment and rehabilitation.
