NCT ID NCT07434622

Summary

This study aimed to find out how accurate common dental tests are at telling if a tooth's nerve is alive or dead. Researchers tested 175 adults who needed a root canal, using cold, heat, and a small electric current on their tooth. They then compared the test results to what they actually saw when they opened the tooth, to see which test was most reliable.
