SUBSTANCE P:PULPAL PAIN
Dr. Mehnaz Rajab
Abstract :
Current evidence supports the central role of neuropeptides in the molecular mechanisms underlying dental pain. In particular, substance P, a neuropeptide produced in neuron cell bodies localised in dorsal root and trigeminal ganglia, contributes to the transmission and maintenance of noxious stimuli and inflammatory processes. The major role of substance P in the onset of dental pain and inflammation is increasingly being recognised. Well–grounded experimental and clinical observations have documented an increase in substance P concentration in patients affected by caries, pulpitis, or granulomas and in those undergoing standard orthodontic or orthodontic/dental care procedures. On this basis, SP can be considered a major mediator of neurogenic inflammation and associated hyperalgesia and represents a promising target for therapies aimed at controlling pain and minimising deleterious consequences of tissue injury
