Abstract
A technique was developed to record intradental sensory nerve activity in man. The method involves permanent fixation of electrodes in dentin thus enabling continuous recordings to be made. Acute as well as long term influences on excitability of sensory nerve endings in the tooth can thus be studied. A coincidence between recorded spike activity and pain sensation was observed.Keywords
