One should remember that trigeminal neuralgia may be caused by disseminated encephalomyelitis or cerebral tumors. In such cases, laser therapy is prohibited. Moreover, trigeminal neuralgia may be odontogenic or sinusoidal. Without treatment of the underlying process, no effect of laser therapy may occur. Safety warning use eye protection glasses
