Exploring the correlation between dental procedures and trigemino-cardiac reflex

This study indicates that discomfort experienced during dental scaling is unlikely to induce TCR, whereas root canal treatment, involving both physical and chemical stimulation, appears more likely to trigger its occurrence. Tooth extraction may similarly provoke TCR through mechanical stimulation. Although implant placement does not result in a simultaneous reduction in HR and MABP exceeding 15 % in this study, significant HR fluctuations greater than 20 % were observed, potentially representing early signs of TCR.
