Objective: Imbalanced autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity raises concerns about the development of systemic complications during dental treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a psychological test (Toho Medical Index (TMI)) prior to the impacted mandibular third molar extraction can identify patients with potentially imbalanced autonomic function.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, 34 healthy adult patients with no history of systemic disease were assigned to either the autonomic imbalance group (type II, III, IV) or the control group (type I) based on the results of the TMI.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition characterized by significant sensory, motor, and autonomic dysfunction, often following trauma or nerve injury. Historically known as causalgia and reflex sympathetic dystrophy, CRPS manifests as severe, disproportionate pain, often accompanied by hyperalgesia, allodynia, trophic changes, and motor impairments. Classified into type I (without nerve injury) and type II (associated with nerve damage), CRPS exhibits a complex pathophysiology involving peripheral and central sensitization, neurogenic inflammation, maladaptive brain plasticity, and potential autoimmune and psychological influences.
