Abstract

It is important for the clinician to recognize basic terminology associated with the peripheral nervous system and the biology of pain. This chapter describes the significance of allodynia, hyperalgesia, and central and peripheral sensitization. These terms are important because clinicians rely on clinical tests to evaluate the status of the pulp and periapical tissues. Hyperalgesia, allodynia, and central and peripheral sensitization are important findings during the diagnostic process.
