Achieving regional block of theinferior alveolar nerveis 1 of the most rewarding in regard to providing immediate and continued pain relief, but it is also the most challenging. Failure rates on the first attempt of up to 15% to 20% have been seen, even in experienced hands,9so repeating ...
Many people will experience a toothache at some point. When severe dental pain strikes, your dentist may remove a tooth nerve. Here's how.
The objectives of this lecture are to indicate the utility of dental nerve blocks. Some indications are obvious, but these local anesthetic techniques have a broader application than just tooth extraction. We will review the sensory innervation to theoral cavity, since many of us might not ...
Trigeminal nerve injury or orofacial inflammation causes severe pain in the orofacial regions innervated by uninjured nerves or uninflamed tissues as well as injured or inflamed tissues. From: Journal of Oral Biosciences, 2015 About this pageAdd to MendeleySet alert ...
Pain with eye movementDiagram of the visual pathway and the visual fields: Light enters the eye, sending signals to the retina and through the optic nerve. The nasal fibers of each eye decussate at the optic chiasm, continuing to the optic tract with the temporal fibers. The right nasal ...
Using transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TNS) simple surgical procedures such as tooth extractions and nerve biopsies can be performed without the usual anesthetics. Estimation of threshold and suprathreshold intensities of painful electrical stimuli show no significant change during TNS. Only the threshold ...
Current guidelines for pain treatment recommend a personalized, multimodal and interdisciplinary approach as well as the use of a combination of drug and n
The neurotrophin Nerve Growth factor (NGF) is known to influence the phenotype of mature nociceptors, for example by altering synthesis of neuropeptides, and changes in NGF levels have been implicated in the pathophysiology of chronic pain conditions such as neuropathic pain. We have tested the hypo...
Such a treatment can not only relief pain perception, but also counteract the detrimental effects of stress on bone remodeling.56 These findings hold great significance for bone diseases, especially those caused by mechanical overloads.
