Objective: To determine the effects of K+on the sensitivity of sensory receptors in teeth to fluid flow through dentine. Methods: Evoked discharges were recorded from intradental nerves in anaesthetised cats during the application of 5 s hydrostatic pressure stimuli to exposed dentine through either...
