Abstract
It has been suggested that lateral dominance influences pain perception and pain tolerance ; but when electric stimulation was used on human teeth, there appeared to be no difference in the pain perception threshold values on each side of the midline. Pain tolerance values seem to support the suggestion, but the results were not statistically significant.Keywords
