Abstract:
:Electric pulp testers (EPTs) are widely used to assess tooth pulp vitality. With many unipolar EPTs the electrical circuit is completed through the operator. Since dentists now routinely wear rubber gloves, these might be expected to provide electrical insulation, and therefore to break the circuit. The objective of this investigation was to define the electrical effect of wearing rubber gloves. Two battery-powered unipolar EPTs were examined using a digital storage oscilloscope with an input impedance of 1 M omega. The probe tip was connected directly to the positive input lead of the oscilloscope. Three conditions were tested: (i) with the conductive handle connected directly to the negative input lead; (ii) with the ungloved operator holding the negative input lead in one hand and the conductive handle of the EPT in the other; and (iii) holding the conductive handle in a gloved hand. While the two EPTs produced different patterns of voltage spike, for each there was no difference between conditions (i) and (ii). However, when the conductive handle was held in a gloved hand (condition iii), there was a reduction in peak negative voltage and a change in wave form with positive overshoot. The alteration in wave form could be reproduced by substitution of the operator's gloved hand with a capacitance of 47 pF. These results support the hypothesis that a rubber glove acts partly as a capacitor in series with the electric pulp tester, and will alter the performance of EPTs unless the glove is bypassed electrically.
