Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the interdependence between clinical and psychosocial factors in pain management in dentistry, using the MICMAC methodology. An observational and descriptive study was carried out, in which primary and secondary data were collected. Data was collected through structured questionnaires and a review of medical records. Clinical factors such as the type of dental procedure, the intensity and duration of pain, the anesthetic techniques used, and the use of analgesic medication were analyzed. Psychosocial factors such as dental anxiety and fear, social support, coping strategies, and the patient's previous experiences were also examined. The results showed a significant interdependence between the clinical and psychosocial factors analyzed. Key factors that had a significant impact on the perception and management of dental pain were identified. The findings suggest that by considering these interrelated factors, dental professionals can develop more effective and personalized strategies to alleviate dental pain. However, limitations such as the subjective nature of the technique are recognized, which requires caution in interpreting the results
