• Abstract: Trigeminal neuralgia is an intensely painful condition characterized by bursts of sudden, stabbing pain, like shock, lasting a few seconds to two minutes and usually unilateral. The fact that the proximity of the teeth to the location of the pain is common in this neuropathy and may erroneously suggest an odontogenic cause for the pain. This work aims to describe in general the clinical aspect, clarifying its incidence, etiology and therapy, within dentistry, of trigeminal neuralgia, highlighting the consequences on the patient's life. A survey was carried out on the basis of the methodology used was the bibliographic review of the literature in the databases of Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Revista Interciência, and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online (Medline), in addition to websites that had great relevance in the area. 130 publications were selected in the study from 2018 to 2023, in Portuguese and English. The final sample was diverse, consisting of 10 articles, with regard to the final outcomes, it was possible to observe that this pathology progresses with intense, short-lasting and paroxysmal pain, which interferes with several aspects in the lives of patients and the importance of knowing the dental surgeon about this pathology, being the first professional to provide primary care. It is hoped that the information collected can help identify the pathology in the dental clinic and demonstrate the importance of correct treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
