Thermoaesthesiometer

Thermoesthesiometer (from the Greek θέρμη - “heat”, English aes - “sensation” and other Greek μετρέω - “measure”) - a device that allows you to measure the amount of heat generated by each patient’s tooth, recording data during their depulpation or cold curing. The operation of a thermoesthesiometer is based on the principle of measuring the electrical conductivity of the heating element during heating of the tooth. The accumulation of electrical conductivity data over time is carried out by changing the frequency of the generator to which this device is powered from a power source. There are several different thermoesthesimeters developed by different companies. The term was first used in 2009 by author Addis.

How it works: When the odontoperiodogram fluid hardens, a polymerization reaction occurs and heat is released into the root canal of the tooth. This process is described by the thermoestiometric fractionator (TEF) as an increase in thermal resistance and a change in the system to measure the accumulation of electrical resistance. The change in the measurement system that occurs during this process can be recorded as a thermal signal or thermal signal.
