“…In contrast, the velocity of Abeta fibers is 2 to 5 times as fast as that of A-delta fibers. Human trigeminal A-beta fibers (inferior alveolar nerves) yielded conduction velocities of 65 m/s (Jääskeläinen et al, 1995), while the velocity of the trigeminothalamic tract for Abeta neurons was found to be 14.0 m/s in monkeys (Price et al, 1976). This suggests that, in this study, the cortical responses with a latency of around 20-30 ms reflect the conduction velocity of peripheral A-beta neuron activity.…”

To elucidate the dental pulp-representing area in the human primary somatosensory cortex and the presence of A-beta fibers in dental pulp, we recorded somatosensory-evoked magnetic fields from the cortex in seven healthy persons using magnetoencephalography. Following non-painful electrical stimulation of the right maxillary first premolar dental pulp, short latency (27 ms) cortical responses on the magnetic waveforms were observed. However, no response was seen when stimulation was applied to pulpless teeth, such as devitalized teeth. The current source generating the early component of the magnetic fields was located anterior-inferiorly compared with the locations for the hand area in the primary somatosensory cortex. These results demonstrate the dental pulp representation area in the primary somatosensory cortex, and that it receives input from intradental A-beta neurons, providing a detailed organizational map of the orofacial area, by adding dental pulp to the classic “sensory homunculus”.

“…Subsequent modifications of the technique have resulted in more predictable and stable results and reduced the risk of complications, such as neurosensory disturbance in the distribution area of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) 3,4,10,12,15,16,33,34 . The reported incidence of neurosensory disturbance immediately after BSSO ranges from 80% to 100%.…”

“…It is difficult to compare the various studies because of wide variations in follow up and assessment of nerve function. Nerve damage does not occur at a fixed time point, but may occur during many stages of the surgical procedure 17,38,40,47,60,61,67,71,86,88 . A close correlation between increasing age and frequency of permanent neurosensory deficit following BSSO is reported in many studies 7,61,62,64,77,95,104 .…”
