Background The oral cavity serves as an entrance to the body and is therefore exposed to various exogenous stimuli, including mechanical forces, chemical agents, and bacterial components. The oral mucosa responds to these stimuli to maintain homeostasis and good oral health. The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel functions as an environment-sensing protein and is involved in a wide variety of cellular responses. Recent studies have revealed that epithelial TRPV1 ion channels in the oral cavity play pivotal ro
