ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Odontogenic infection factor has been given much importance in the study of the etiology of secondary trigeminal neuralgia,and the theory of jaw bone cavities is proposed.OBJECTIVE:
To study the relationship of the jaw bone cavities and the etiology of trigeminal neuralgia.DESIGN:
A self-controlled trial.SETTING:
Department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of a university hospital.PARTICIPANTS:
The patients with the trigeminal neuralgia were treated in Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College of Qingdao University from February 1994 to December 2003, from whom 45 were selected for this study, including 15 males and 30 females with altogether 74 jaw bone cavities.METHODS:
Curettage of the jaw bone cavities was performed in these cases, and visual analogue scale(VAS) was adopted for evaluation of the postoperative pain.MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
① VAS; ② Pathological examination and bacteria culture of the specimens.RESULTS:
Pain relief was achieved in 33 cases(73.3% ) after the first surgery and in 10 cases(22.2% ) after a second or third surgery. In 2 cases (4.5%), the pain was alleviated but medication was still needed for pain control. Pathological examinations in most cases identified predominantly in flammatory and granulation tissues.CONCLUSION:
Jaw bone cavities may be one of the major etiologic factors of trigeminal neuragia.
