“…Though periodontitis is generally considered to be a painless condition, for example when compared to pulpitis, it has been reported that pain associated with chronic periodontal diseases may be mild, persistent, or episodic dull and periodontitis can results in some degree of trigeminal neural sensitization [33]. Previous literature has indicated that periodontal pathogens in dental plaque can not only directly produce a range of bioactive molecules which may sensitize receptors and ion channels on neuronal endings, it can also induce the production of host response mediators related to inflammation and pain [34].…”

“…Oral and facial nerves are susceptible to damage by various causes. The etiology of peripheral nerve damage in the oral and facial areas includes facial fractures, infections, tumors, and non-iatrogenic causes such as systemic diseases and genetic factors, and iatrogenic injuries, such as extraction of the third molar, implant surgery, periodontal surgery, and orthognathic surgery [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Damage to the trigeminal nerve elicits neurologic signs and symptoms associated with sensory dysfunction in the oral and facial areas [3,8].…”

Oral and facial sensation is affected by various factors, including trauma and disease. This study assessed the clinical profile of patients diagnosed with sensory dysfunction and investigated their sensory perception using simple qualitative sensory tests.Methods: Methods: Based on a retrospective review of the medical records, we analyzed a total of 68 trigeminal nerve branches associated with sensory dysfunction in 52 subjects. We analyzed the frequency and etiology of sensory dysfunction, and the frequency of different types of sensory perception in response to qualitative sensory testing using tactile and pin-prick stimuli.Results: Results: The inferior alveolar nerve branch was the most frequently involved in sensory dysfunction (88.5%). Third molar extraction (36.5%) and implant surgery (36.5%) were the most frequent etiological factors associated with sensory dysfunction. Hypoesthesia was the most frequent sensory response to tactile stimuli (60.3%). Pin-prick stimuli elicited hyperalgesia, hypoalgesia, and analgesia in 32.4%, 27.9%, and 36.8%, respectively. A significant association was found between the two kinds of stimuli (p=0.260).Conclusions: Conclusions: Sensory dysfunction frequently occurs in the branches of the trigeminal nerve, including the inferior alveolar nerve, mainly due to trauma associated with dental treatment. Simple qualitative sensory testing can be conveniently used to screen sensory dysfunction in patients with altered sensation involving oral and facial regions.
