Other common causes of \u2018orofacial pain\u2019 are sinusitis, temporomandibular joint(TMJ) dysfunction, otitis externa, tension headache and migraine. In some patients, the etiology of \u2018orofacial pain\u2019 remains undetected despite optimal evaluation. A few patients in the practice of clinical dentistry presents with dental pain without any identifiable dental etiology. Such patients are classified under the category of \u2018atypical odontalgia\u2019. \u2018Atypical odontalgia\u2019 is reported to be prevalent in 2.1% of the individuals. \u2018Atypical orofacial pain\u2019 and \u2018atypical odontalgia\u2019 can result from the neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis, trigeminal neuralgia and herpes infection. Trigeminal neuralgia has been frequently documented as a cause of \u2018atypical orofacial pain\u2019 and \u2018atypical odontalgia\u2019. There are a few isolated case reports of acute pontine stroke resulting in \u2018atypical orofacial pain\u2019 and \u2018atypical odontalgia\u2019. However, pontine stroke as a cause of atypical odontalgia is limited to only a few cases, hence prevalence is not established. This case is one, where a patient presented with acute onset atypical dental pain with no identifiable dental etiology, further diagnosed as an acute pontine infarct on neuroimaging. A 40 years old male presented with acute onset, diffuse teeth pain on right side. Dental examination was normal. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) of the brain had an acute infarct in right pons near the trigeminal root entry zone(REZ). Pontine infarct presenting with dental pain as a manifestation of trigeminal neuropathy, has rarely been reported previously. This stresses on the importance of neuroradiology in evaluation of atypical cases of dental pain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2174\/1874210601509010337","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,9]],"date-time":"2015-09-09T02:21:55Z","timestamp":1441765315000},"page":"337-339","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Pontine Infarct Presenting with Atypical Dental Pain: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Rajat","family":"Goel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjeev","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ajay","family":"Panwar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abhishek B","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"refR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"716","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.71.6.716","volume":"71","author":"Madland G.","year":"2001","unstructured":"Madland G, Feinmann C. \n                    Chronic facial pain: a multidisciplinary problem \n                    J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry  \n                    2001; \n                    71\n                    (6)\n                    : 716-9.","journal-title":"J.
