Study Notes

Factors Influencing Pain Experience

Primary factors that influence the experience of pain include psychological, social, and cultural aspects, as well as past experiences and expectations.

Definition of Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain is defined as pain caused by a lesion or disease affecting the somatosensory nervous system.

Diagnostic Evaluation for Orofacial Pain

The formal diagnostic evaluation for orofacial pain includes:
- Detailed medical and dental history
- Physical examination
- Imaging and diagnostic tests (e.g., X-rays, CT scans)
- Psychological evaluation (if necessary)

Classification of Orofacial Pains

The most basic classification of orofacial pains includes:
- Dental pain (e.g., toothache, pulpitis)
- Non-dental pain (e.g., myofascial pain, temporomandibular joint disorder)
- Neurogenic pain (e.g., trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathic pain)

Physiologic Aspects of Pain Experience

The physiologic aspects of pain experience involve:
- Transduction (conversion of stimuli into neural signals)
- Transmission (transmission of neural signals to the brain)
- Perception (interpretation of pain by the brain)
- Modulation (regulation of pain by the brain and spinal cord)
