Pulp Testers and Vitality Scanners

Electric pulp testers for checking tooth vitality before endodontic or restorative treatment. A quick test that helps confirm the diagnosis rather than relying on symptoms alone.

Test a healthy neighboring or opposite tooth first to set a baseline, then the suspect tooth. Place the tip on dry enamel with a conducting gel.

Results can be unreliable in young teeth, after trauma and in heavily restored teeth, so combine them with cold testing and radiographs.
