Methods: Fourty subjects （20 male,20 female）participated the study..The sensitivity was examined bilaterally in facial sites supplied by the infraorbital (V2) and mental (V3) nerves. The colddetection threshold (CDT), cold pain threshold (CPT), warm detection threshold (WDT), heat pain threshold (HPT), mechanical detection threshold (MDT), mechanical pain threshold (MPT) were determined. Data were tested with ANOVAs for repeated measures and post-hoc comparisons were calculated using Bonferroni tests. Results:A significantly lower threshold (lower sensitivity) was detected for CDT (P =.002), and significantly lower thresholds (higher sensitivity) for WDT (P = .012) and HPT(P = .034) in woman . There were significant differences with lower threshold (lower sensitivity) in V2 compared to V3 for CDT (P = .001) and lower threshold (higher sensitivity) for HPT(P< .001). There were no significant right-to-left side differences for any of the QST parameters. Conclusion: Application of the thermal and mechanical quantitative sensory test may evaluate the sensory function of the V area.
