It is well known that D-glucosamine hydrochloride (DGL) has a variety of biological activities and is regarded as a nutritional supplement effective in improving various disorders, including osteoarthritis and atherosclerosis. Although it has been reported that DGL has a significant pain relief effect in treating osteoarthritis, little is known about the characteristics of the effects of this compound on dental pain. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the applicability of DGL as a medicament to control pulpalgia. Using anin vitrorat mandible-inferior alveolar nerve preparation (jaw-nerve preparation), we evaluated the effects of DGL on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) sensitive nociceptive responses in the tooth pulpal nerve. 5-HT-induced nociceptive responses were fairly suppressed by direct application of DGL, suggesting that DGL have a pain relief effect on patients with dental pain.

ABSTRACT Pain is the leading reason for individuals to seek dental care and understanding factors in pain response assists in pain management. Some dental services, including those involving tooth preparation, can result in postprocedure discomfort leading to a recommendation for analgesic therapy following treatment. Analgesia is defined as pain relief by inhibiting specific pain pathways and drugs to relieve pain are analgesics. Over the counter agents are efficacious agents for most dental pain with ibuprofen and acetaminophen commonly recommended. Considerations for analgesic recommendations, based on the medical history, scientific evidence of efficacy, and patient preferences are discussed. How to cite this article Pickett FA.
