Substance P is a neuropeptide belonging to the tachykinins family involved in the regulation of inflammation and pain transmission. New evidence is emerging about the role of this neurotransmitter and its role in pain feeling during orthodontic treatment. The aim of this brief review was to describe the role of substance P in pain transmission.
