Example 3 Given $a^{2}+a+1=0$. Then, $a^{1992}+$ $a^{322}+a^{2}=$ $\qquad$
(Harbin 15th Junior High School Mathematics Competition)
Given the condition $a \neq 1$, from $(a-1)(a^2 + a + 1) = 0$, we get $a^3 - 1 = 0$, hence $a^3 = 1$.
Substituting 1 for $a^3$ and 0 for $a^2 + a + 1$, we get
$$
\begin{aligned}
\text { Original expression } & =\left(a^{3}\right)^{664}+\left(a^{3}\right)^{107} a+a^{2} \\
& =1^{664}+1^{107} a+a^{2} \\
& =1+a+a^{2}=0 .
\end{aligned}
