This article provides a summary of the physiology of orofacial pain in dentistry, focusing on the pain pathway, molecular mechanisms of pain pathophysiology, and new insights into classification of orofacial pain related diseases. It also delves into the possible mechanisms of neuropathic orofacial pain, distinguishing it from other types of pain.
The objective of this review of the literature is to summarize the physiology of orofacial pain in dentistry, particularly physiology of the pain pathway and molecular mechanisms on pathophysiology of pain, on account of new insights into classification of orofacial pain related diseases. This article will also focus on possible mechanisms of neuropathic orofacial pain which is distinguished from other types of pain.
