Abstract

Objective

To describe the normal cortical projections of periodontal mechanoreceptors.

Material and methods

A device using von Frey filaments delivered 1-Hz punctate tactile stimuli to the teeth during fMRI. In a block design paradigm, tooth (T) 11 and T13 were stimulated in ten volunteers and T21 and T23 in ten other subjects. Random-effect group analyses were performed for each tooth, and differences between teeth were examined using ANOVA.

Results

The parietal operculum (S2) was activated bilaterally for all teeth; the postcentral gyrus (S1) was activated bilaterally for T21 and T23 and contralaterally for T11 and T13. In the second-level analysis including the four teeth, we found five clusters: bilateral S1 and S2, and left inferior frontal gyrus, with no difference between teeth in somatosensory areas. However, the ANOVA performed on the S1 clusters found separately in each tooth showed that S1 activation was more contralateral for the canines.

Conclusion

One-hertz mechanical stimulation activates periodontal mechanoreceptors and elicits bilateral cortical activity in S1 and S2, with a double representation in S2, namely in OP1 and OP4.

Clinical relevance

The cortical somatotopy of periodontal mechanoreceptors is poorly described. These findings may serve as normal reference to further explore the cortical plasticity induced by periodontal or neurological diseases.

Zell-Organisatoren unter Druck: Mechanismen des embryonalen Zahnwachstums aufgedeckt

08.04.2024 Zahnmedizin Nachrichten

Der Aufbau von Geweben und Organen während der Embryonalentwicklung wird von den Zellen bemerkenswert choreografiert. Für diesen Prozess braucht es spezielle sogenannte „Organisatoren“. In einer aktuellen Veröffentlichung im Fachjournal Nature Cell Biology berichten Forschende durch welchen Vorgang diese Organisatoren im Gewebe entstehen und wie sie dann die Bildung von Zähnen orchestrieren.
