Oral PathologyMigraine is basically vascular in origin, involving vasodilation and inflammation of cranial blood vessels, particularly the trigeminal vascular system. The pathophysiology involves changes in cerebral blood flow and release of vasoactive substances. MPDS is muscular, glossopharyngeal neuralgia is neurologic, and glossodynia is often idiopathic or related to local factors rather than vascular.

Amoxicillin is a common and appropriate antibiotic choice for prophylactic use in healthy adults undergoing dental extractions where there might be a risk of infection, such as with a widened periodontal ligament (PDL). The choice of antibiotic should always be determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the patient's full medical history and local resistance patterns.
