[Electroanalgesia: operating principles].
We are faced every day with the problem of dental pain arising from the concomitant action of the nerve fibres, the odontoblasts and the dentinal fluid. Its propagation is due to the triggering of the action potential from the resting potential. It can be reduced thanks to a reversible process of anelectrotonus in electro-analgesia.
