Parkell Digitest 3 Pulp Vitality Tester
With
the ability to offer the additional diagnostic test of electric
stimulation using the Digitest3, dentists worldwide are routinely
diagnosing and treating problematic teeth that otherwise might have to
forgo treatment until a later date, when the problem more clearly
presents itself.
The
Digitest® 3 electrically stimulates the tooth to test for vitality.
Comparing the response to the stimulus of the suspected tooth with a
known healthy tooth’s response to an identical stimulus can help you
hone in on the source of the patient’s pain.
How it Works
The
new Parkell Digitest 3 avoids patient discomfort in two ways: Instead
of a constant current, the Digitest 3 stimulus consists of an
oscillating pulse. We like to refer to it as the “gentle pulse” because a
vital tooth feels the stimulus at a level well below the pain
threshold. The Digitest 3 also increases the stimulus gradually, without
sudden jumps that can trigger an “ouch” response.
The
trick when testing pulp vitality is to trigger a response from a vital
tooth without hurting the patient. Many pulp testers go from “no
reaction” to a jolt of pain in one step.
