Variables associated with electric pulp testing. 1980

R L Cooley, and S F Robison

A modern electronic pulp tester is evaluated in both the laboratory and clinical situations. Different electrode media are tested and compared to results obtained without any electrode media. Contact pads are also evaluated and found to add another variable to electric pulp testing. Several technique variables were introduced and found to have a significant effect on transmission of the stimulus to the tooth.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009991 Oscillometry The measurement of frequency or oscillation changes. Oscillometries
D003782 Dental Pulp A richly vascularized and innervated connective tissue of mesodermal origin, contained in the central cavity of a tooth and delimited by the dentin, and having formative, nutritive, sensory, and protective functions. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992) Dental Pulps,Pulp, Dental,Pulps, Dental
D003791 Dental Pulp Test A diagnostic aid used in evaluating the physical health of teeth. It involves using a tool that transmits hot or cold temperatures, or electric currents to a tooth's surface. The sensitivity to hot or cold or to the currents on a tooth can determine if there are problems with that tooth.
