Does Dental Fluorosis Affect Electric Pulp Test Response And/Or Optimum Probe Placement Site?
AUSTRALIAN ENDODONTIC JOURNAL(2021)
摘要
The placement site of electric pulp tester (EPT) probe on the tooth affects the threshold values obtained. The aim of this study was to determine and compare threshold levels and appropriate placement sites for EPT probe on fluorotic and normal teeth. Equal numbers of fluorotic and non-fluorotic maxillary central incisors of 40 subjects were assessed. The mean of three threshold readings from an EPT was taken from the labial surface at the incisal edge, incisal third, middle third and cervical third. Kruskal-Wallis and Friedman ANOVA followed by post hoc tests were used to compare threshold scores. Significantly higher thresholds were recorded for fluorotic teeth at the incisal edge and incisal third. The lowest thresholds were obtained for the incisal edge in both fluorotic and non-fluorotic teeth when compared to the cervical third. There was no statistically significant difference among corresponding test sites between the genders and age groups.
