Summary

This study measures how hot the inside of a tooth gets when dentists shave off a tiny bit of enamel (a common step before braces). Researchers will test two different tools on 40 teeth from 30 people to see which method causes less heat. Keeping the tooth cool is important because too much heat can damage the nerve inside.
