Abstract
ARGUETA LOPEZ, R.; ARGUETA GARCIA, R. and BERLIN GOMEZ, A. M.. Basic considerations for the management of pain in dentistry in the daily practice of the surgeon general dentist and their relationship with the anesthesiologist. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.4, pp.175-179. ISSN 1134-8046. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1134-80462015000400006.
Pain is a complex and multidimensional event regulated by psycho-chemical processes in the peripheral and central nervous system; pain perception can be modified by different mechanisms that include, between others, drugs, environmental stimuli, cognoscitive and emotional processes, and cultural and social conditions. The drugs that are used in odontology try to control the pain. In general, it is necessary to stop the peripheral and central pain perception using local or general anesthesia, respectively.
