Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of pulp test in teeth presenting with deep periodontal pocket. The null hypothesis is no significant effect of periodontitis on the accuracy of pulp test.

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of pulp test in teeth presenting with deep periodontal pocket. All patients who need root canal treatment would be screened to determine the periodontal condition for possible involvement in this study. They would be grouped into two groups, normal and periodontitis Group. Included teeth will be dried with 4x4 gauze then tested with a cold test using Endo-Ice and electric pulp tester (EPT). Similar or adjacent teeth with no caries, restorations, or a history of the previous injury will be used as controls for that patient. Upon accessing the tooth, no bleeding was counted as necrotic and any presence of blood was counted as a vital pulp
