Odontotest™
Air Liquide Reference Number: 1002S
About the Product
Reliable and painless tooth vitality tester. ✓ Unique diagnostic system ✓ Accurate even through crowns.
The Odontotest™ is an easy and effective way to assess tooth sensitivity. It produces sticks of carbon dioxide (CO2) snow - also called dry ice - which is applied to the tooth for pulp test.
How does it work?
Dry ice is created when pressurised CO2 penetrates the perforated tube. A plunger (part #4 below) is then used to push the snow forward and expose it for tooth vitality testing.
