Abstract
Recordings were made from nerve terminals in canine and 3rd incisor teeth of cats. Tooth-pulp units (93) in 10 cats could be excited either by mechanical or electrical stimulation of adjacent mucous membrane or by electrical stimulation of the pulp of a nearby tooth. Section of the trigeminal nerve centrally did not abolish these responses. Results for 12 of 13 units tested with collision techniques indicated that the nerves were branched.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
