Prevalence of neuropathic pain and sensory alterations after dental implant placement in a university ‐based oral surgery department: A retrospective cohort study

ConclusionsNeuropathic pain after dental implant placement is very infrequent (0.3%) in a University Oral Surgery department. However, the presence of trigeminal neuropathies can be slightly higher and can affect up to 0.5% of patients. Older female patients seem to be more prone to this rare and disabling complication.
