Lingual Neurectomy in the Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Peripheral neurectomies for trigeminal neuralgia has been one of the modalities of treatment, which is cheaper, but with co morbidities. But the success in treating the third branch of the trigeminal nerve with peripheral neurectomy has been greatly reduced because of the failure to perform lingual neurectomy along with the other branches. We propose that lingual neurectomy should be done in cases where mental and inferior alveolar neurectomies have failed to relieve the pain and we also describe the surgical procedure for lingual neurectomy to ensure better success in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, through peripheral neurectomy.
