[Evaluation of the thermal effects of the plasma microtorch by infrared thermography]

This study presents a detailed example of the examination of the tooth treated by thermal therapy, by infrared thermography and the different manners to show the results of the examination. The results of the work shows: the thermal diffusion into the tooth is similar to the thermal diffusion into an isotropic environment, the fusion heat of the dentine is reached without any damage to the pulp. The study of the tooth treated by the thermal action of the MICRO PLASMA SYSTEM confirms the thérapeutical effects of the thermal treatment without any damage to the pulp.
