Dr. Jayant Uperia, Dr. Ajay Mulani, Dr. Rachana Gandhi, Dr. Mital Gandhi

Background: Any trauma, whether accidentally or intentionally caused, is a common cause of trigeminal neuropathy. The trigeminal nerve supplies the orbit, the maxilla, and the jaw and performs both sensory and motor duties. The majority of PTTN instances are brought on by tooth extraction, root canal therapy, and any type of jaw fracture that affects the crown or root of a tooth. Aims: The goals of this study were to determine the incidence of PTTN in the Surgery, ENT and Dentistry outpatient department (OPD) and the relationship between traumatic tooth extraction and the occurrence of PTTN. Methods and Material: The study was done from January 2019 to December 2019, and patients from Surgery, ENT and Dentistry were chosen based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistical Analysis Used: The descriptive frequency approach was used to analyze data acquired using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 23. The outcomes are reported as frequency and percentages. Results: There were 6530 patients in total who had new cases reported to the Surgery, ENT and Dentistry; 258 patients with PTTN were noted among those. Males were more afflicted than females in this study's prevalence of PTTN patients, which was 1.55%. Conclusions: PTTN is most frequently a complication of iatrogenic trauma during dental extractions and other orodental surgical procedures carried out in the oral cavity with localized sensory deficits to the inferior alveolar nerve, lingual nerve, and branches of the maxillary nerves.
