This article aims to review current hypotheses on the aetiology and prevention of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injuries in relation dental procedures. The can be damaged during many procedures, including administration local anaesthetic, implant bed preparation placement, endodontics, third molar surgery other surgical interventions. Damage sensory nerves result anaesthesia, paraesthesia, pain, or a combination three. Pain is common injuries, resulting significant functional problems....
To explore the impact of trigeminal nerve injuries on quality life, including effect pain psychological and affective function.An observational, cross-sectional survey design was employed. Fifty-six patients with inferior alveolar injury (IANI) 33 lingual (LNI) completed standardized self-report measures intensity, catastrophizing, self-efficacy to cope pain, mood, in addition generic oral health-related life (HRQoL) indicators. The severity these aspects psychosocial function examined....
This article provides a simple overview of acute trigeminal pain for the non dentist.This does not cover oral mucosal diseases (vesiculobullous disorders) that may cause pain.Dental is most common in this group and it can present several different ways.Of particular interest dental mimic both neuralgia other chronic disorders.It crucial to exclude these disorders whilst managing patients with pain.
The mechanism of pain in dentine hypersensitivity is poorly understood but proposed to result from the activation dental sensory neurons response dentinal fluid movements. Odontoblasts have been suggested contribute thermal and mechanosensation tooth via expression transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. However, a by which odontoblasts could modulate neuronal activity has not demonstrated. In this study, we investigated functional TRP channel human odontoblast-like cells measured ATP...
Development of treatments for acute and chronic pain conditions remains a challenge, with an unmet need improved sensitivity reproducibility in measuring patients. Here we used pulsed-continuous arterial spin-labelling [pCASL], relatively novel perfusion magnetic-resonance imaging technique, conjunction commonly-used post-surgical model, to measure changes regional cerebral blood flow [rCBF] associated the experience being ongoing pain. We demonstrate repeatable, reproducible assessment that...
