To solve the restrictions of a classical ketogenic diet, a modified medium-chain triglyceride
diet was introduced which required only around 60% of dietary energy. Capric acid (CA), a …

Orofacial pain conditions are often very debilitating to the patient and difficult to treat. While
clinical interest is high, the proportion of studies performed in the orofacial region in …

Purpose To compare the efficacy of preoperative submucosal injection of 4 mg of
dexamethasone versus 40 mg of methylprednisolone in reducing postoperative sequelae …

Inflammatory orofacial pain, in which substance P (SP) plays an important role, is closely
related to the cross-talk between trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons and satellite glial cells …

Peripheral tissue inflammation can alter the properties of somatic sensory pathways,
causing behavioral hypersensitivity and resulting in increased responses to pain caused by …

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 …

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a brief introduction to the anatomy and physiology
of pain pathways from peripheral nociceptors to central nervous system areas involved in …

The cross talk between trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons and satellite glial cells (SGCs) is
crucial for the regulation of inflammatory orofacial pain. Substance P (SP) plays an important …

P2Y purinergic receptors expressed in neurons and satellite glial cells (SGCs) of the
trigeminal ganglion (TG) contribute to inflammatory and neuropathic pain. P2Y 14 receptor …

Cannabinoids are proposed for alleviating neuropathic pain, but their use is limited by
cannabimimetic side effects. The inhibition of the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), the …
