Abstract:
An improved method has been developed to measure temperature at both the DEJ and the PDJ during cavity preparation. This method allows a more realistic determination of the effects on the pulp tissue of various tooth reduction procedures. In future studies, the same method could also be used to determine pulpal effects from various restorative materials.
