The pain produced for the TN is described as a very intense acute pain, stabbing or shooting, as an electric shock that usually occurs of form unilateral and that goes all the way of the nerve involved. It is important to make the opportune diagnosis of the condition of TN for adequately differentiate of some odontogenic painful conditions and to prevent that the patient receive unnecessary treatment. The first line of treatment of the TN is the pharmacological therapy, in which is used as a drug of first choice to carbamazepine.
