EVALUATION OF EFFECTIVENESS OF PAIN OUT DENTAL GEL AS A TEMPORARY ANALGESIC IN PROVIDING EXPRESS INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF OF ODONTOGENIC CAUSES OF TOTH ACHE

Abstract

Pain has the function of a warning to tissue damage and activation of defensive mechanisms, with the aim of prevention of further damage. The stimulus which damages or threatens to damage a tissue activates the nociceptors which in turn carry the information by a system of neurons to cortex, where it is processed and recognized as pain. Most somatosensory information from the area of orofacial system is transported via n, trigeminus. In order to remove pain, it is necessary to recognize and properly diagnose the cause of pain. This is not always easy, due to numerous variations within the clinical findings, and the latent possibility that pain has referred from odontogenis structure onto the nonodontogenis ones, and vice versa.

Knowing the pathways and mechanisms of pain, possible causes and different characters of orofacial pain, as well as a thorough anamnesis, clinical examination and testing will eventually lead to a proper diagnosis.
