Study Description

To generate the nociceptive stimulus, The investigators will apply cold (Endo-Ice) to a healthy upper incisor tooth #8. Inclusion criteria: Patients between 20 and 60 years old, with healthy teeth, no history of dental alveolar trauma, and no pulp chamber calcification. After the nociceptive stimulus, patients will write their pain perception on paper from 0 to 10, and at the same time, we will record the brain activity with a non-invasive EEG Emotiv. Then, we will correlate both methods.
