Effect of conducting media and gender on the functional efficacy of electric pulp test
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Conservative and Endodontics - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim To determine the pulpal sensory thresholds in human teeth using different conducting media and to check presence of gender based differencesMaterials and Methods The study was performed on 40 maxillary central incisors in 40 healthy participants 20 males and 20 agematched females The three conducting media tested were gel based product Lox 2 Jelly and toothpastes Sensodyne Repair and Protect Meswak The media were used in random order and each medium was tested twice on the tooth with 1 minute interval The tooth probe of the tester was coated with a thin layer of the test medium and a stimulus was applied on the tooth until felt by the participant At the faintest sensation felt by the patient the sensory threshold value and the pain scores were recorded The mean of the two threshold values for each conducting medium and the VAS scores were used for ANOVA followed by post hoc analysisResults Sensory threshold values elicited by Lox 2 Jelly was significantly lower than the other conducting media P 0 xssremoved Conclusion Pulpal sensory thresholds to electric stimuli generated by EPT differ according to the conducting media used and genderKeywords Electrical conductance Electric pulp test Electrical stimuli Pulp sensibility test Sensory threshold
