Abstract / Excerpt:

Clinical reports on several cases of treatment of the pain syndrome resulting from residual bone cavitiesi from extracted teeth with which etiology and symptoms are very similar to idiopathic trigeminalneuralgia or atypical facial pain. A new surgical technique is employed to successfully alleviate virtually all of the syri1ptoms and facilitates total remission of the facial pain and the “Phantom Tooth” syndrome.
