Abstract

Pulp testing is mandatory before any operative procedures, invaluable in the diagnosis of pain and is an essential adjunct in the interpretation of radiolucent areas. Methods of pulp testing are reviewed and the use of dry ice for this purpose is discussed in detail. Limitations of pulp testing are considered. Vitality tests are of only limited use in traumatized teeth. The results are only qualitative and not quantitative.

摘要

在进行任何手术操作之前，牙髓测试是必不可少的，在疼痛诊断中具有重要价值，并且是解读透射区的重要辅助手段。本文回顾了牙髓测试的方法，并详细讨论了为此目的使用干冰的情况。同时也考虑了牙髓测试的局限性。活力测试在受创伤的牙齿中作用有限。其结果只是定性的而非定量的。
