インプラント治療を契機として発症した非定型口腔顔面痛の2 例

抄録

Though dental implant treatment is mainly intended for functional improvement of disorders in the stomatognathic system resulting from missing teeth, it sometimes leads to unpredictable neurological symptoms in patients. We report two cases of atypical orofacial pain following dental implant placement. The patients were two women aged 50 and 65 years old. Neither patient had established a rapport with the dentist who performed the dental implantation for them. The patients were treated by administration of paroxetine hydrochloride hydrate and milnacipran hydrochloride, in consultation with the physician. We must be conscious of the onset of orofacial pain in dental implant treatment.
