Abstract
The effect of mechanical vibratory stimulation on the human tooth pain threshold was studied in 4 healthy naive subjects. Vibration at 10 and 100 Hz was applied to a maxillary incisor and the electrical pain threshold was measured in an adjacent tooth. During the conditioning stimulation, the pain threshold increased 1.2-1.8 times the unconditioned values. Mechanical vibratory stimulation applied to human teeth elevates the pain threshold in adjacent teeth.Keywords
