Intradental nerve activity from canine teeth of anesthetized cats was recorded during the application of different metal ion solutions in a dentinal cavity. The application of Ag²⁺, Ca²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cr³⁺, Hg ²⁺, Mg²⁺, Mn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺, Pd²⁺, Sn²⁺, and Zn²⁺ reduced the nerve activity induced by NaCl 0.76 M and compound 48/80. The application of Cu²⁺ and Co²⁺ excited the intradental sensory nerves.
