Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the sensitivity of dental pulp as a potential indicator of neuropathy in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, focusing on a group of 124 patients with relapsing-remitting MS who had no history of trigeminal neuralgia.
- Electric pulp sensitivity testing was used to measure responses, showing an average response value of 2.69, with no significant age differences in response time, though males had significantly longer response times.
- The analysis revealed a positive correlation between the electrical pulp sensitivity threshold and response time to cold tests, suggesting a link between these measures and the neurological status of MS patients.
Background: The importance of evaluating the pulpal threshold to electrical stimulation, as a side effect of probable neuropathy in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients is a novel issue. This study aimed to investigate electrical pulp test thresholds in MS patients without a history of trigeminal neuralgia compared to healthy individuals.
Methods: Sixty-nine maxillary central incisors, belonging to 34 relapsing-remitting MS patients, and 35 healthy individuals were included in this survey.
