Abstract
Sensory mechanisms in dentine: A literature review of light microscopy (LM), transmission microscopy (TEM), scanning microscopy (SEM) & electro physiological (EP) tooth sensitivity: Is the ciliary organelle on the odontoblast the elusive primary nociceptor?
Highlights
Ancient humans believed in myths—that tooth pain was due to evil spirits [1]
Electrophysiological studies provide additional insights on dentine sensitivity In his opening comments at the 1962 Sensory Mechanisms in Dentine Symposium, Scott stated that electro physiological (EP) stimulation was achievable from nerve fibers in the dentine tubule complex
They suggested the electrical activity of the receptors was compatible with the transducer elements, which were located within the odontoblastic layer or within the proximal predentine region of a dentine tubule [47]
