|March 1, 1984
Abstract:
The use of percussion as a means of evaluating symptoms related to pulpal and periapical conditions is well documented. The literature reports no method of means for recording any relative measure of this response. A percussion instrument was developed to record the various degrees of tenderness to percussion on a calibrated basis.
