Screening Female Patients With Autonomic Nervous System Imbalance Using the Toho Medical Index Before Tooth Extraction
ANS activity before extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar was assessed subjectively using the TMI and objectively using HR variability analysis. Our findings suggest that some patients do not have symptoms specific to dysautonomia but have an imbalance of autonomic function before extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar, and TMI can identify such patients.
