Resumo(s)
Dentine is a permeable mineralised tissue, made with a special geometry. The geometry
presents micro tubules with variable dimensions and densities. Dentine can be subdivided into four different
classes, depending on the number and shape of the tubules. Dentine can be directly exposed to high or
low temperature, when the tooth is under restoration or due to gingival retraction. This temperature
variation can induce pain into the patient. This investigation aims to validate the numerical model using
experimental data obtained from tests developed in dog teeth. According to this investigation, the rate
of temperature, threshold temperature and the neural activity are correlated allowing for a positive
correlation between the thermal stimulus and pain.
