DOLORIMETRIC EVALUATION OF DENTAL PATIENTS

PRELIMINARY REPORT BASED UPON DETERMINATIONS WITH A RADIANT HEAT PAIN THRESHOLD APPARATUS

AUSTIN H. KUTSCHER B.A., D.D.S.1 and NEAL W. CHILTON B.S., D.D.S., M.P.H1

1 Division of Research, Hannah and Harry Posner Research Laboratory, School of Dental and Oral Surgery of the Faculty of Medicine, Columbia University, New York, N. Y.

1. The pain thresholds of 168 dental patients to radiant heat stimuli applied to the skin of the hand were determined by the Hardy-Wolff-Goodell technique.

2. The pain thresholds of these 168 untrained individuals were asymmetrically distributed and differed among the subjects tested.

3. It was not possible to relate the pain threshold as determined by radiant heat stimuli with reaction to pain, fear of pain, or the individual's estimate of his own pain threshold, as derived from dental procedures.
