abstract: The pathways of nociception, concerning dentogenic pain, are followed from the peripheral nociceptors to the cortex. The branches of the trigeminal nerve supply the semilunar ganglion. From this ganglion the trigeminal nuclei are reached, extending from the bottom of the third ventricle to the upper cervical segments. The thalamus and subsequently the cortex are receiving nociceptive information from trigeminal nuclei. Either ascendent or descendent pathways are involved concerning nociception.
