TOOTH PULP CONDITION PROBE

摘要

A tooth pulp condition probe (1) includes a stimulator (5) configured for abutting a tooth surface. The stimulator (5) includes a thermoelectric temperature element (6) in electrical communication with a power source (7) and an actuator (9) disposed electrically intermediate the thermoelectric element (6) and the power source (7), and configured to actuate the thermoelectric element (6) to provide a predetermined temperature at the stimulator (5). A temperature sensor (10) is disposed at or adjacent the stimulator (5) for sensing the temperature thereof and a display (11) is provided for displaying indicia indicative of the sensed temperature. A temperature controller (12) in electrical communication with the temperature sensor (10) and the power source (7) is also provided, the temperature controller (12) being configured to provide a predetermined temperature at or adjacent the stimulator (5).
