Abstract

Pain is a symptom very important in the stomatologic practice and particularly in
that concerning to dental pulp alterations. To deep in the knowledge of phases
crossed by a pulpal inflammatory process allowing predicting its painful
manifestations, authors made a bibliographic review on this subject with a
multidisciplinary and basic-clinical approach, using the documentary method for
analysis and management of information offered by theoretical sources. Google was
used as a fundamental search tool and LILACS, HINARI, Medline and PubMed were
the more reviewed databases. The classification of pulpal inflammation state, taking
into account non-visualized histopathology events is more difficult and it may to
achieve a great accuracy in a diagnosis based on course after pain, according the
magnitude of inflammatory compromise and supported by the potential valuable
symptomatology if we follow the trajectory of the nociceptive stimulus variables.
The know ledges increase and deepening in this field will contribute in a significant
way to a better diagnosis and treatment of pulpal inflammatory processes.
