Clinical neurosensory testing: Practical applications

Hormone‐dependent fluctuations of pressure pain threshold and tactile threshold of the temporalis and masseter muscle

“…The last filament size that enabled the subject to provide at least 80% positive responses was considered the second trial result. The effectiveness of the methodology used for the von Frey's filaments was confirmed earlier (Levin, Pearsall & Ruderman, 1978; Nishioka, Zysset & Van Sickels, 1987; Ghali & Epker, 1989; de Beukelaer, Smeele & Van Ginkel, 1998).…”

Does Platelet-Rich Fibrin Enhance Recovery From Neurosensory Disturbance Following Mandibular Fractures? A Double-Blind, Split-Mouth Randomized Clinical Trial

“…The C fibers are least susceptible to injury, with an A-delta between the A-Alpha and C fibers in injury susceptibility. 21,22 In the current study, PRF did not accelerate the return of TPD in the treatment group, which may indicate that the regeneration of small fibers occurs at the same speed or rate with or without PRF. The recovery of the more susceptible large A-alpha fibers (involved in brush stroke direction) may be improved by PRF.…”

Piezosurgery-assisted transposition of the inferior alveolar nerve in a patient with osteoradionecrosis: A case report with a neurosensory assessment and a review of the literature

“…Although a perception level on the Semmes-Weinstein test of 1.65-2.36 and a 2-point discrimination level of 7-14 mm are considered normal for trigeminal distribution [21], the scores of our patient were higher than the normal levels, even at before surgery or the control side. These results may be associated with the radiation therapy-induced peripheral nerve injury.…”
