Pulse Oximetry and Electric Pulp Test in Intact Teeth and Teeth with Hyperaemia Pulpae

The pulp hyperaemia is associated with increased blood flow in the pulp. Diagnosis of this condition is very important for the outcome of a dental treatment. There are new methods, which can detect the pulp blood flow. Such method, gaining increasing popularity nowadays, is pulse oximetry. In this s...
