Case report: A fourthy eight year old male patient was referred to the Department of Endodontics with chief complaint of mild to severe pain in the left part of the mandible spreading to the area of the left TMJ, left ear and left temporal area. Previuosly he was examined by his GDP, who did not detect dental couse of the pain and patient was sent to to the neurologist with suspiciopn on trigeminal neuralgia. He was treated with the Tegretol and acupuncture for six months. During the treatment the intensity of pain decreased from time to time, but it was constantly present. During the period of pharmacological treatment his quality of life was poorer, and he was asking for second opinion.
