• #1 Dental (Odontogenic) Pain

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4590084/

  Toothache is caused by inflammation of the dental pulp, most commonly as a result of dental caries (tooth decay), the most common human infective disease worldwide, affecting 60-90% of school children worldwide. […] Insult of the tooth due to caries (causing bacterial products to infiltrate the pulp via the dentine tubules) or iatrogenic insult (dental restoration close to the dental pulp or trauma) will cause pulpal inflammation. This results in extreme sensitivity to cold and sweet flavours with short sharp neuralgic pain. […] If the insult persists the pulpitis will become irreversible. The increased pulpal vascularity results in a rise in intra pulpal pressure, which induces ischaemia and sensitivity, with prolonged pain to heat. Once necrosis of the dental pulp has occurred, the infection spreads through the apex of the tooth into the surrounding bone and periodontal membrane, initiating periodontal inflammation and eventually a dental abscess causing spontaneous long lasting pain and pain on biting on the tooth. […] The current hypotheses for dental pain includes the osmolality theory, whereby the dentine fluids elicit an action potential within the A delta and C fibres in the pulp when stimulated by mechanical stimulation.

  The dental pulp is not only richly innervated and vascularized, but the neural components involved with the dental pulp tissue, or the root canal is associated with a collective framework of sensory trigeminal axon nerve bundles. […] The sensory fibers of the root canal or the pulp tissue are the neural endings from the fifth cranial nerve, i.e., the trigeminal nerve. […] The pulp tissue of the human tooth is categorized into a coronal pulp and radicular pulp. […] The fibers in the midst of these regions or the intersection have a communication channel between the coronal pulp and the dentin layer also known as the plexus of raschkow. […] There are also several intertubular fibers that innervate the dentin as well as the pulp chambers. […] Both these fibers can sometimes be mixed within a single tooth and vary according to the diameter, function, and independent conduction velocities.

  Tooth pain is a defense mechanism that ensures when a chopper is being damaged, we’ll notice and do something about it, said Julius Manz, director of the dental hygiene program at San Juan College in Farmington, New Mexico, and a spokesperson for the American Dental Association. […] If teeth didn’t feel pain, we might continue to use them in situations that damage them, Manz said. And for humans, damaging adult teeth is a problem because, unlike sharks and alligators, we can’t replace them. […] Teeth have three layers, only one of which the innermost layer of the tooth can hurt. That innermost layer of the tooth is called the pulp and contains both blood vessels and nerves. Pain is the only sensation to which the nerves in the pulp respond, Manz said. […] The periodontal ligament, which attaches the tooth to the jawbone and senses the positioning of the teeth as we chew, can also feel pain. „Anybody who’s been in orthodontic treatment will tell you their teeth are sore. That sensation is coming from the periodontal ligament,” Manz said. […] With both the pulp and the periodontal ligament sensing pain, it can be hard for people to know where their tooth pain is coming from, Manz said.

  Inside our teeth, there is a space called pulp cavity where the pulp, consisting of the nerves and blood vessels of the tooth, is distributed. The pulp is covered with dentin and the dentin is covered with enamel. The so-called toothache is caused by irritation to the pulp. […] If you have a toothache, the first thing we may suspect is tooth decay. Other possibilities include periodontal disease and hypersensitivity. […] In decayed teeth, the enamel is dissolved by the acid produced by bacteria in the mouth called C1. At this stage, there is no pain because the nerves of the tooth are not distributed in the enamel. However, if it progresses to C2, cold and sweet foods may begin to sting because part of the pulp is embedded in the dentin. In the C3 stage, the nerve itself becomes contaminated and causes severe pain. In the C4 stage, the nerve is dead and the toothache disappears.

  Toothache is a pretty broad term that describes many different conditions. […] In order to understand both the symptoms and causes of tooth pain, you need to understand a little anatomy of the teeth first. A normal, healthy tooth does not cause pain. […] Teeth are hollow, and the internal hollow chamber contains nerves and blood vessels. […] These nerves can send signals to the brain, triggering pain when something is wrong. […] Typically, there are no signals to send because the outer coating of enamel protects the nerve from any external stimulus. Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, and its job is to protect the tooth’s internal nerve while withstanding the heavy forces of chewing. […] Healthy enamel is a single, continuous coating around the core structures of the tooth. The structure directly beneath enamel is dentin, which is softer than enamel and contains tiny channels leading directly to the nerve.

• #9 Toothache – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothache

  Apical periodontitis is acute or chronic inflammation around the apex of a tooth caused by an immune response to bacteria within an infected pulp. It does not occur because of pulp necrosis, meaning that a tooth that tests as if it’s alive (vital) may cause apical periodontitis, and a pulp which has become non-vital due to a sterile, non-infectious processes (such as trauma) may not cause any apical periodontitis. […] The pain pathway is mostly transmitted via myelinated A (sharp or stabbing pain) and unmyelinated C nerve fibers (slow, dull, aching, or burning pain) of the trigeminal nerve, which supplies sensation to the teeth and gums via many divisions and branches. […] Pain is an unpleasant sensation caused by intense or damaging events. In a toothache, nerves are stimulated by either exogenous sources (for instance, bacterial toxins, metabolic byproducts, chemicals, or trauma) or endogenous factors (such as inflammatory mediators).

  Most dental pain is caused by an organic problem such as dental caries, periodontitis, pulpitis, or trauma. […] However, patients often also complain of abnormal dental pain that has a non-dental origin, whose diagnosis is challenging. Such abnormal dental pain can be categorized on the basis of its cause as referred pain, neuromodulatory pain, and neuropathic pain. […] Pain is a sensory function that informs our brain when infection or trauma has disrupted a tissue in the body, or when a part of the body has become fatigued. […] Pain signals originating in peripheral sensory nerve receptors travel through innumerable neurons to the somatosensory cortex, where the signal is recognized as pain. […] Pain that occurs at a site separate from its origin is called „referred pain.” […] The transmission of pain stimuli can be modulated by accumulated psychological stress or abrupt changes in emotions.

• #14 Dental Pain Causes

  https://www.haleonhealthpartner.com/en-us/oral-health/conditions/dental-pain/causes/

  Dental caries (cavities) are the primary cause of dental pain in both children and adults, and more than 1 in 4 adults have some form of untreated tooth decay. […] Dental caries can cause continuous pain or occasional sharp pain. […] If left untreated, they can get larger and affect deeper layers of the tooth, leading to severe toothache, infection, and tooth loss. […] Pulpitis occurs when tooth decay progresses into the pulp of the tooth. […] A dental abscess is caused by a buildup of bacteria inside the pulp chamber, usually as a result of an untreated cavity or pulpitis. […] A fractured or cracked tooth can occur due to age, bruxism (tooth grinding), trauma, and other factors. […] It can cause pain, sensitivity, swelling, sharp pain when biting or chewing.

• #15 Toothache and Infection – Dental Disorders – Merck Manual Professional Edition

  https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/dental-disorders/symptoms-of-dental-and-oral-disorders/toothache-and-infection

  Toothache is usually caused by dental caries and its consequences. […] Caries (tooth decay) causes pain when the lesion extends through the enamel into dentin (resulting in sufficient demineralization of tooth structure to cause a cavitation in the outer surface of the tooth enamel). Pain usually occurs after stimulation from cold, heat, sweet food or drink, or brushing; these stimuli cause fluid to move within dentinal tubules to induce a response in the pulp. […] Pulpitis is inflammation of the pulp, typically due to advancing caries, cumulative minor pulp damage resulting from previous large restorations, a defective restoration, or trauma. It may be reversible or irreversible. […] Pain may be spontaneous or in response to stimulation, particularly heat or cold. In both cases, pain lingers for a minute or longer. Once the pulp becomes necrotic, pain ends briefly (hours to weeks). Subsequently, periapical inflammation (apical periodontitis) or an abscess develops.

• #16 How to Stop Cavity Pain

  https://www.verywellhealth.com/how-to-manage-a-toothache-caused-by-tooth-decay-1059319

  A cavity is a hole in a tooth that develops due to tooth decay. It forms when acids in your mouth erode your tooth’s hard outer layer, called the enamel. […] Poor dental hygiene is the primary cause of this. When you don’t brush and floss regularly as you should, a thin film of bacteria called plaque builds up on your teeth. The bacteria in plaque produce the acid that can harm enamel and cause cavities. […] As the enamel gradually erodes, the bacteria will continue to push into the softer inner material, called the pulp, which is rich in nerves and blood vessels. The invasion will trigger an inflammatory reaction as the immune system tries to control the infection. […] The inflammation, in turn, causes the pulp to swell, compressing nerves in the tooth and resulting in tooth pain.

  Toothaches, also known as dental pain or tooth pain, is pain in the teeth or their supporting structures, caused by dental diseases or pain referred to the teeth by non-dental diseases. Common causes include inflammation of the pulp, (usually in response to tooth decay, dental trauma, or other factors), dentin hypersensitivity, apical periodontitis (inflammation of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone around the root apex), dental abscesses (localized collections of pus), alveolar osteitis („dry socket”, a possible complication of tooth extraction), acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (a gum infection), and temporomandibular disorder. […] Pulpitis is reversible when the pain is mild to moderate and lasts for a short time after a stimulus (for instance cold); or irreversible when the pain is severe, spontaneous, and lasts a long time after a stimulus. Left untreated, pulpitis may become irreversible, then progress to pulp necrosis (death of the pulp) and apical periodontitis.

  Dental caries, a bacterial disease of teeth characterized by destruction of enamel and dentine, is often the underlying cause of dental pain. […] When a carious lesion impinges on the dental pulp, pulpitis follows and, ultimately, necrosis of the pulp occurs. […] Pain does not occur until the decay impinges on the pulp, and an inflammatory process develops. […] Reversible pulpitis is mild inflammation of the tooth pulp caused by caries encroaching on the pulp. […] If a carious lesion causing reversible pulpitis is not treated, the condition will progress to irreversible pulpitis, a severe inflammation of the pulp. […] A severely inflamed pulp will eventually necrose, causing apical periodontitis, which is inflammation around the apex of the tooth. […] Apical abscess is a localized, purulent form of apical periodontitis.

  So anything that disrupts the enamel or exposes dentin allows certain sensations to reach the nerve inside the tooth. That is one mechanism of tooth pain. Another mechanism of pain is when some irritant or injury to a tooth causes inflammation of the nerves and blood vessels within the hollow chamber. […] Inflammation causes swelling, but inside the tooth, there is no room for the tissue to swell. This means a very sharp increase in the pressure inside the chamber, which causes severe pain. In cases without treatment, the nerve inside a tooth will often die, so the pain can stop. […] Dead nerves do not send any signals to the brain. The problem is that dead nerves progress into infections that spread to the ligaments and bone around a tooth. […] Usually referred to as an abscess, these infections cause pain and swelling in the jawbone and gum tissues. Pain that originates in the nerve within the tooth is usually caused by something that disrupts the single, continuous covering of enamel.

Dental caries erode the protective layers of the tooth (ie, enamel, dentin) and allow bacteria to invade the pulp, producing a pulpitis.

  The term dentoalveolar abscess comprises 3 distinct processes, as follows: […] A periapical abscess that originates in the dental pulp and is usually secondary to dental caries is the most common dental abscess in children. Dental caries erode the protective layers of the tooth (ie, enamel, dentin) and allow bacteria to invade the pulp, producing a pulpitis. Pulpitis can progress to necrosis, with bacterial invasion of the alveolar bone, causing an abscess. […] Odontogenic infections are polymicrobial, with an average of 4-6 different causative bacteria.

  Current evidence supports the central role of neuropeptides in the molecular mechanisms underlying dental pain. […] 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. […] Neuropeptides are now considered major determinants of the inflammatory process in peripheral tissues, a phenomenon also known as neurogenic inflammation. […] Mounting evidence is also supporting the role of neuropeptides in the molecular mechanisms underlying dental pain. […] Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide produced in a subset of capsaicin sensitive sensory peripheral neuron cell bodies localised in dorsal root and trigeminal ganglia, which plays a pivotal role in the transmission of noxious stimuli in the spinal cord.

  The biological effects of released SP are induced following its binding to specific G protein-coupled NK receptors. […] These receptors are present in high concentrations in dental tissues. […] Moreover SP has been shown to activate ERK 2 and P38 mitogen-activated protein and to increase the production of prostaglandin E2 and the expression of COX2. […] 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. […] Overall, evidence collected so far strongly supports the major role of SP in the development and maintenance of dental pain and inflammation. […] Although physiological levels of SP are needed in order to guarantee correct blood flow in the dental pulp that can help tissue healing, from the available literature it clearly appears that high levels of the neuropeptide are associated with pain and persistent inflammation.

  The tooth has an unusual sensory system that converts external stimuli predominantly into pain, yet its sensory afferents in teeth demonstrate cytochemical properties of non-nociceptive neurons. This review summarizes the recent knowledge underlying this paradoxical nociception, with a focus on the ion channels involved in tooth pain. […] The structure of teeth results in a unique pattern of nociception. One example is a special condition known as dentin hypersensitivity—the exaggerated nociception in teeth caused by non-noxious mechanical, chemical, or thermal stimuli without the pulpal inflammation predisposed or the nerve damage in the adjacent tissue. […] While the molecular mechanisms underlying dentin hypersensitivity have not been fully elucidated, one promising hypothesis—the hydrodynamic theory—states that external stimuli cause the movement of the dentin tubular fluid to, ultimately, excite nerve fibers in the pulp to initiate pain.

  This provides the most plausible explanation for dental cold hypersensitivity of all the hypotheses that have been proposed, although not without controversy. […] Pulsating pain in chronic pulpitis results from hydrostatic blood pressure applied to inflamed and swollen pulp tissue contained within the hard dentin structures. […] All of these are suggested molecular transducers of mechanical force or stretch expressed in the dental sensory system, that are activated upon mechanical stimulation from movement of dentinal fluid, or deformation of microstructure. […] Several TRP channel superfamily members that exhibit mechanosensitivity include TRPC1, TRPC6, TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV4, TRPM3, TRPM4, TRPM7, TRPA1, and TRPP2. […] The investigation of non-neuronal cells revealed the expression of TRPC1, TRPC6, TRPV4, TRPM3, TRPM7, TRPP1, and TRPP2 in rodent odontoblasts and TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV4, and TRPM3 in pulp cells from neonate rats after in vitro differentiation into odontoblasts; this suggests that these channels might function as molecular mechanotransducers that possibly confer mechanosensitivity to odontoblasts.

  https://military-medicine.com/article/3102-barodontalgia-toothache-triggered-by-hypobaric-and-hyperbaric-conditions.html

  Barodontalgia is described as acute toothache with high to extremely high sensitivity, which occurs due to a sudden change in environmental pressure. […] The physical basis for barodontalgia is essentially based on Boyles law (Boyle-Mariotte law) and Gay-Lussacs law. From a physiological point of view, the compression or expansion of enclosed air bubbles irritates the nerve endings and nociceptors. This ultimately leads to painful sensations, oedemas or even gas embolisms. This genesis of air bubbles and air pockets can be explained through different hypotheses. The first theory implies that inflammation leads to pockets of gas. This could be through infected necrosis or apical abscesses for example, which cause gases due to bacteria. In addition, small defects like carious, undermining dentin lesions with minimal enamel damage, or inadequate edge coverage with caries development, cause air to move between the cavities or even to become trapped inside due to changes in pressure.

  A second hypothesis is that iatrogenic gas pockets bind together. This can occur through inadequate endodontic condensation, for example. Furthermore air can remain in the operated cavity after surgical procedures, which is only reabsorbed after some time. Gas pockets can also be caused by diffusion. The pressurised air inhaled by divers, jet pilots and extreme skydivers can be so significant that it can easily access inadequate restorations or carious lesions. Above all, the air can also diffuse into the surrounding tissues and lead to strong emphysema type pains.
