Outline of Final Research Achievements

Dental pain often evokes referred pain and/or radiating pain, and thus, to find origin of the pain is sometimes difficult. Such complicated pain is considered to be due to the vascular reaction kin the surrounding periodontal tissues evoked by the tooth pain.We demonstrated that (1) there are nerve terminals supplying the gingiva originate from parent axons which have collaterals that innervate the tooth pulp, (2) the vasodilation and the extravasation are induced in the gingiva following electrical stimulation of the nearby tooth pulp.
These results indicate that tooth pain evokes neurogenic inflammation and presumably pain in the surrounding periodontal tissues.
