Oral and dental conditions
This section describes various common oral and dental condition
Trigeminal neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic neuropathic pain disorder characterized by sudden, recurrent episodes of severe unilateral facial pain occurring within the distribution of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). The pain is classically brief, electric shock-like, stabbing, or lancinating and is often triggered by otherwise harmless stimuli such as light touch, chewing, talking, brushing the teeth, or exposure to cold air.
Odontogenic cysts
Odontogenic cysts are a group of cystic lesions arising from odontogenic epithelium associated with tooth development. They are pathological cavities lined by epithelium and contain fluid, semi-fluid, or keratinous material. These cysts develop from remnants of odontogenic tissues left behind during tooth formation and are among the most common lesions affecting the jaws.
