sound
www.indiandentalacademy.com
84. Reaction of pulp to vitality test
• Controversial issue
• Cooperative and relaxed pt required
• Accuracy not possible in first visit
• But still noted at time of injury to establish a a
point of reference for following test
www.indiandentalacademy.com
85. • Principle - transmission of stimuli to sensory
receptor of the dental pulp and registering the
reaction.
Mechanical stimulation
• Dentin or pulpal stimuli tested by scraping with
probe or drilling the test cavity
www.indiandentalacademy.com
86. • In replanted teeth this is not possible as pain
sensation is not noted till dentin pulp junction
reached.
• In case of clinically visible pulp exposure
stimulus is tested by cotton socked in saline.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
87. Thermal tests
• Not reliable completely and not reproducible
• Normal pulp may yield negative response
• Non vital teeth may yield +ve response in
case of gangrene thermal expansion of fluid
exerts pressure on inflamed PDL
www.indiandentalacademy.com
88. Heated GP
• Memford 5mm GP stick 2 sec flamed applied to
tooth on middle third of the facial surface

www.indiandentalacademy.com
89. Ice
• Cone of ice to facial surface of tooth 5-8 sec
normal tooth may not respond.
Carbon dioxide snow -ve78 -- -108 C
• Consistent reliable results seen even in immature
teeth. Allow pulp testing in completely covered
tooth with crown splint
• But it results in new infarction lines on enamelwww.indiandentalacademy.com
90. Dichloro difluoromethane
• Frigen, Provotest
• Aerosole –28 -- -18 c
• Consistent reliable results seen in immature
teeth
• But it results in new infarction lines on enamel
www.indiandentalacademy.com
91. Electrometric test
Ideal requirements
• It should allow control of the mode, duration,
frequency of the stimulus.
• Voltage measurement type is not satisfactory.
• Given voltage produces varying current
depending on varying resistance of tissue which
is altered from fissure caries and restorations
www.indiandentalacademy.com
92. • Stimulus should be clearly defined
• Electrode area should be as large as tooth
shape will permit to allow maximum stimulation.
• Stimulus duration of 10 millisecond or more has
been advocated.
• Digital pulp tester is more reliable than other.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
93. • Patient is informed and instructed to indicate
when sensation is first experienced.
• Isolate from saliva to prevent diversion of current
to PDL or gingiva.
• Do not desiccate tooth which increases
resistance.
• Medium such as saline and tooth paste can be
used between electrode and tooth.www.indiandentalacademy.com
94. • Loose teeth immobilized before pulp testing
• Pulp testing should be done before
administration of LA
• Electrode is placed as far from gingiva
preferably on fracture area or the incisal edge.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
95. • Circuit can be completed by
• neutral electrode held by patient by grasping
the end of pulp tester.
• Examiner touching patient mouth with finger
or mouth mirror.
• Clip to the lip
www.indiandentalacademy.com
96. • Rheostat of the tester is advanced continuously till
the patient reacts to give threshold value.
• Threshold value should be determined by a quick
increase in current rather than slow which causes
adaptation.
• Then this value is compared with abnormal tooth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
98. • Splints or temporary crown used alter
response by increasing threshold value so
cold test is the best alternative.
• Teeth with luxated injuries may not respond
to the stimulus temporarily.
• They start reacting after few weeks or months
www.indiandentalacademy.com
99. • In case of immature root and adult obliterated
canals electric pulp testing will gives false – ve
results
• Teeth under going orthodontic treatment shows
high excitation threshold.
www.indiandentalacademy.com

101. • Non vital teeth reliability 97%
• Vital teeth reliability 100%
• Draw backs
• Blood pigment in discolored teeth inter fear with
laser light transmission
• Price of instrument
