Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of thermograms obtained from canine teeth of dogs with healthy gingiva and no tooth discoloration in assessing pulp vitality and quickly determining tooth vitality. The study included 64 canine teeth of 16 non-brachiocephalic, crossbred, male dogs with healthy periodontal tissue and no radiolucent areas in the periapical region. Thermograms of the canine teeth were taken and it was evaluated whether the coronal pulp tissue caused a temperature difference on the tooth surface. In the statistical analysis, it was determined that the coronal pulp caused a temperature increase of 0.34°C on the tooth surface (P> 0.05). As a result, it was concluded that the thermal camera can give an idea to the physician in the evaluation of blood flow in the pulp and help in deciding tooth vitality.
