Abstract

Prolotherapy is an innovative technique that relieves pain by directly impacting the underlying condition causing that pain. In contrast to many medical treatments that may provide only temporary benefits, this safe & proven treatment offers lasting relief. The present review focuses on this relatively new technique for pain relieving & its application in dentistry.
