Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to pulp test teeth wtth ultrasound, and see if we could not correlate
these findings with our clinical evaluation, which had
been obtained by conventional pulp testing methods, The
object of the study was to eliminate the patient subjectivity
in pulp testing.
Teeth of varying degrees of pulp vitality were selected
as test teeth, and their contralateral teeth, where possible,
were selected as controls. The teeth were then scored according
to their response to heat, cold, and electricity.
They were then clinically evaluated. The teeth were then
tested with ultrasound with a 7.5 MHz transducer... [TRUNCATED]
