title: Medical treatment of post-dental extraction peripheral painful traumatic trigeminal neuropathy.
abstract: Pain arising from surgical procedures that damage the inferior alveolar nerve typically responds poorly to classic therapies. The present case reports the successful medical treatment of this problem with a 10-day course of a corticosteroid and a concomitant 30-day course of an anticonvulsant.
