Evaluation of Time-Dependent Temperature Changes during Different Interdental Stripping Procedures by Thermal Imaging: An In Vitro Study

Gul Amuk, Nisa / Kurt, Gokmen / Cakmak, Gulsen / Er, OzgurPage 591 - 598Purpose: To investigate the temperature changes in pulp chamber of incisor and canine teeth during different stripping procedures with thermal imaging.Materials and Methods: Intact and freshly extracted human permanent 40 maxillary lateral incisor, 40 mandibular canine and 40 mandibular incisor teeth were selected for this study. Diamond bur, tungsten carbide bur and perforated diamond-coated disc were used for interdental stripping in high and low speed handpieces by air and water cooling. Temperature changes and cooling time of the tooth groups were recorded by a thermal imaging system. Paired t test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests were performed for intragroup and intergroup comparisons of temperature changes and cooling time values.Results: Stripping procedures created a statistically significant temperature rise in all study groups (p
