A 56-year-old man was referred by his dentist to an orthodontist as part of an interdisciplinary treatment plan for a complete dental rehabilitation. The patient presented with a mutilated dentition with a restricted envelope of function and generalized severe tooth wear with loss of vertical dimension. The patient showed a history of multiple endodontically treated and subsequently extracted elements associated with unexplained symptoms until a neurologist diagnosed trigeminal neuralgia. The orthodontic treatment in which the restricted envelope of function was eliminated and the vertical dimension was reestablished resulted in a significant reduction of the number of triggers experienced by the patient.
一名56岁男性被其牙医转介给一名正畸医生,作为全面牙齿修复跨学科治疗计划的一部分。患者存在牙列缺损,功能活动度受限,伴有普遍严重的牙齿磨损和垂直距离丧失。患者有多次牙髓治疗后牙齿拔除史,并伴有无法解释的症状,直到神经科医生诊断为三叉神经痛。正畸治疗消除了受限的功能活动度并恢复了垂直距离,使患者经历的触发疼痛次数显著减少。
