Compared with groups 1 and 2, initial pulpal blood flow (PBF) levels were significantly raised in the deep dentine caries group (P
In five out of six teeth which had shown no improvement in PBF 3 days and 14 days after treatment, blood flow had fallen to an average 3.7 per cent FSD; three of these teeth no longer responded to electric and thermal stimuli
Summary
The final condition ofthe pulp of any tooth is a summation of the effects of caries or trauma, cavity preparation and filling material. Invasive measurement of pulpal blood flow (PBF) in human teeth has not been possible. Pulpal blood flow values for an individual tooth at any one time varied by an average 4.6 per cent, when comparing readings taken from the mesial, mid-buccal or distal aspect.
