Dental pulp evoked potentials

The purpose of this work was to explore the possibilities of dental pulp evoked potential registration and to standardize the mean values of peak latencies and amplitudes recorded from the vertex in both sexes. The long latency evoked potentials of the brain cortex were obtained by electrostimulation with the corresponding parameters. The peak latencies recorded in the female group N 40, P 80 and N 140 were significantly shorter than peak latencies N 50, P 90 and N 150 in the male group. Peak amplitudes recorded in the female group were higher than in the male group, but statistically they were not significant.
