This method measures dental pulp cavity volume in human teeth, suggesting a reliable assessment technique.
Summary. A method of measuring the volume of the human dental pulp cavity is described. The crown of an extracted tooth is divided from its root. After cleaning the pulp cavity, it is filled with an elastomer, and the fractured tooth surfaces repositioned before the elastomer sets. The tooth is corroded in acid to release the elastomer which is then weighed, and its volume calculated. The method has been applied to representatives of each human tooth type, and mean values are given.
