Overview

Investigation evaluates temperature changes in pulp tissue during interproximal reduction and polishing, indicating no harmful effects.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the temperature variations in lower incisor pulp chambers during interproximal reduction and polishing.
  • Used 21 intact and extracted lower incisors in a pulpal microcirculation model.
  • Performed 0.3 mm interproximal reduction with a diamond-coated disc.
  • Polished samples for 80 seconds, using both dry and water-cooled techniques.
  • Recorded temperature at various intervals using a thermal camera.
  • Measured temperature change (∆T) of 2.74 ± 1.4 °C during interproximal reduction.
  • Statistically significant differences in temperature between water cooling and dry polishing (p < 0.001).
  • Dry polishing resulted in higher temperature increases but did not exceed the critical threshold of 5.5 °C.
