Neuropathic Pain After Dental Implant Surgery: Literature Review and Proposed Algorithm for Medicosurgical Treatment.

The objective of this study is to establish an algorithm for the medicosurgical treatment of dental implant-induced neuropathic pain. The methodology was based on the good practice guidelines from the French National Authority for Health: the data were searched on the Medline database. A working group has drawn up a first draft of professional recommendations corresponding to a set of qualitative summaries.

Three-phase Bone Scintigraphy Can Predict the Analgesic Efficacy of Ketamine Therapy in CRPS.

Objectives: The efficacy of ketamine in relieving complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) lacks predictive factors. The value of three-phase bone scintigraphy (TPBS) was assessed for this purpose.

Materials And Methods: TPBS was performed in 105 patients with unilateral, focal CRPS of type 1 before 5 days of ketamine infusions.
