Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1.Patients belonging to the category 1 of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 2.Individuals belonging to the age range of 18-60 years of either sex. 3.Patients diagnosed with having at least one healthy, one clinically diagnosed as symptomatic-irreversible pulpitis and one complete root canal treated tooth without any full or partial coverage restoration among his/her maxillary central incisor, maxillary and, or mandibular 1st molar. 4.The positive control tooth should be caries free having healthy periodontium with pocket depth less than 3 mm measured using a Williams probe based on clinical as well as radiographic findings. 5.The root canal treated tooth should be free of any kind of partial or full coverage prosthesis and should only have a permanent/ temporary core build up present and should be well obturated with root filling with 2mm short of the apex and without any periapical radiolucency.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Thermal tests: includes heat and cold test. In heat test a warm heated gutta purcha stick will be applied on labial/buccal surface of tooth and patient response will be noted in all the three groups-positive control, negative control and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis tooth. 2. Electrical pulp testing: here the electrical probe will be touched over the labial/ buccal surface of crown of the tooth and current will be increased progressively and patients response will be noted in all the three groups. 3. Modified pulse oximeter test- here the pulse oximeter probe with modified probe holder will be held at buccal/labial and lingual/ palatal surfaces of crown of teeth and recordings noted at monitor, here the pO2 will be noted for all the teeth group.
