The intended use of the device is to provide continuous heat at the tip of a dental instrument, the Hot Pulp Test Tip, to test tooth response to thermal stimulus.

The device, which is battery-operated (Model 5001 and 5004) or powered by a wall adapter (Model 5002), is designed to provide continuous heat at the tip of a dental instrument, the Hot Pulp Test Tip, to test tooth response to thermal stimulus. The battery operated models are fully rechargeable through the use of the plug-in charge adapter. The Hot Pulp Test Tip is heated to the desired temperature. A medium, such as a ball of softened gutta percha, is used to transfer the heat from the Hot Pulp Test Tip to the tooth. The gutta percha ball is dipped into talcum powder or Vaseline to prevent it from sticking to the tooth. The Hot Pulp Test Tip is placed in firm contact with the tooth, ensuring that a good contact is established. The patient's response to the heat is evaluated by the clinician to determine whether the pulp is healthy or inflamed.
