Low-cost, noninvasive method to assess pulpal vitality

Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The predominant cause of dental pain is pulpal inflammation and necrosis. Clinicians lack an inexpensive, reliable in-vivo tool for testing pulpal vitality and treatment response. The proposed research supports the NIDCR mission by providing clinicians with improved tools to detect and assess pulpal vitality for better endodontic management.
