Drug resistance is a challenging event during treatment that results in using higher doses of drugs or referring for neurosurgical treatment. Laser therapy is also an effective method for pain control. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of non-ablative non-thermal CO₂ laser (NANTCL) on reducing pain in patients with drug-resistant trigeminal neuralgia (DRTN) for the very first time. <b><i>Materials and methods:</i></b> Twenty-four patients with DRTN were randomly divided into laser and placebo groups. Patients in the laser group received NANTCL (10,600 nm, 1.1 W, 100 HZ, 20 sec) on trigger points that were covered with lubricant gel 3 days in a week for 2 weeks. The placebo group received sham laser. The patients were requested to grade their pain on a visual analog scale (VAS) immediately, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In the laser group, the results revealed a significant decrease between the initial pain and the pain in all follow-up sessions. Only in three patients, 3 months after completion of laser therapy, pain returned to the initial level. In the control group, a significant difference was seen only between the pain of baseline and final session of laser irradiation. In laser group, the mean of pain (VAS) was lower than the placebo group in all follow-up sessions; however, it was only significant for 1 week after laser therapy. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This study revealed that short-period application of NANTCL is effective for pain relief in patients with DRTN, especially those with extraoral trigger points.

Patients were randomly divided into two groups. In 30 patients one side of the bony cover around the tooth was removed by the conventional bur technique, on the other side 15 patients were treated with the Er:YAG laser (VersaWave dental laser; HOYA ConBio) 200 mJ, 30 Hz, 4.5-6 W, noncontact mode, SP and R-14 handpiece tip, under air and saline solution, and 15 patients with the piezosurgery technique (VarioSurg Piezo; NSK) with frequency 20-100 kHz, 10-80% power range in Surgery (S), continuous mode, with SG17 and SG5 handpiece tip blade. Preoperative, 48th hour and 7th day measurements were made and recorded about pain, swelling, and trismus. At the end of the treatment, patients were asked to fill out a satisfaction questionnaire. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The pain observed at the postoperative 24th hour was statistically significantly lower in the laser group than in the piezosurgery group (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Only in the laser group swelling was seen with statistically significant differences between preoperative and postoperative 48th h (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Postoperative 48th h trismus value was seen as the highest in the laser group than others. Patient satisfaction was found to be higher in the laser and piezo technique compared with the bur technique. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Er:YAG laser and piezo methods can be a good alternative to the conventional bur method when postoperative complications are compared. We believe that laser and piezo methods will be preferred for patients due to increased patient satisfaction.
