Activation of sympathetic fibres in the pulp by electrical stimulation of rat incisor teeth.

Abstract:

:Previous studies of the sympathetic nerve supply of the rat mandibular incisor pulp have shown conflicting results. Here, the neurovascular control of the rat lower incisor pulp was investigated by stimulating the tooth crown and the cervical sympathetic trunk electrically and monitoring blood-flow changes in the pulp by laser Doppler flowmetry. In addition the presence of noradrenaline (NA) in the pulp and gingiva was examined biochemically in untreated and sympathectomized animals by high-performance liquid chromatography. The tissue concentrations of NA in the pulp were 11-fold greater than those of gingiva. Surgical sympathectomy significantly reduced the NA content in the pulp by 76%. Monopolar electrical stimulation of teeth (25-50 microA) for 1 min resulted in a frequency-dependent reduction followed by an increase in pulpal blood flow. At 16 Hz the reduction in blood flow was 65% and the subsequent increase was 9%. After intravenous administration of the alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist phentolamine, the stimulation-induced reduction in pulpal blood flow was diminished by 94% while the increase was significantly enhanced (from 9 to 40%). Infusion of the beta-adrenoceptor antagonists propranolol and timolol significantly reduced this increase in blood flow by 53 and 55%, respectively. Preganglionic sympathetic nerve stimulation also induced a frequency-dependent reduction followed by a slight increase in pulpal blood flow. This reduction in blood flow was almost abolished after alpha-adrenergic blockade and there was no subsequent increase. These findings suggest that there are sympathetic nerve fibres in rat incisor pulp and that they are activated upon monopolar electrical stimulation of teeth resulting in alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor mediated blood-flow responses.
