Abstract
Introduction: The pulp sensibility test includes thermal and electric tests, which determines pulp health from sensory response; A study was conducted on diabetes-induced rats where changes were noted in the structure and function of the blood vessels responsible for supplying the dental pulp. Materials and methods: Electric and cold pulp sensibility tests performed for premolar teeth and the electric pulp test results were recorded based on the pulp testers grade that evoked a response. Power of the sample was calculated as well as the sample size. Results: Comparing the differences in sensibility test on the basis of duration of diabetes, a statistically significant (p-value = 0.039) was found. It was noted that higher sensibility scores were recorded among patients with the longest duration of diabetes as compared to a shorter duration. Conclusion: Overall, there was no statistically significant difference among diabetic and healthy patients.
Keywords: Pulp sensibility, Type 2 diabetes, Thermal tests.
