Özet

Purpose The variability of the EPT response threshold is the most important part of accurate diagnosis of pulp status of caries-affected resorbing primary teeth. This study evaluated the mean EPT threshold values and appropriate electrode placement sites for primary molar teeth based on their physiological root resorption levels.
