In Vitro Infrared Thermographic Assessment of Temperature Change in the Pulp Chamber during Provisionalization: Effect of Remaining Dentin Thickness

Figure 2

Selected thermograms of the inner side of chamber roof of premolar with lower dentin thickness (younger group) recorded during provisionalization using Turbo Temp 2. (a) Thermogram recorded directly after positioning of impression tray on tooth. (b) Thermogram recorded 30 s after positioning; temperature increase was 2.8°C. (c) Thermogram recorded 60 s after position; temperature increase was 3.9°C.
