STATISTICAL STUDY OF THE PULP RESPONSES TO THE ELECTRIC PULP STIMULATOR IN THE PRIMARY POSTERIOR TEETH

The author have studied on the pulp responses to the electric pulp stimulator (Pyo-Cure)(R) in the primary molar age from 4 to 11 of the 186 children (male 100, female 86). The total numbers of teeth used in this study were 1096. The results were as follows ; 1. The difference in responses between the teeth of the male and female was not statistically significant. 2. The difference in responses between the teeth of the right and left sides was not statistically significant. 3. The difference in responses between the teeth of the upper and lower jaws was not statistically significant. 4. The responses of the teeth in the older age is higher than its of the early age. 5. Inspite of advanced root resorption of the primary molars, except severe root resorption, the responses of the teeth was higher according to increasing the age. 6. The responses of the teeth were decreased severely in the primary molars as it becomes exfoliation time.
