| Popis: | Aim. To assess the dependence of electrodontometry indicators on the configuration of the root canal and to determine the value of the resultant action of the current at which patients have a response to electrodontometry.Materials and methods. The research consisted in the creation of computer models of teeth and their analysis by the finite element method in the COMSOL Multiphysics program. The removed tooth 2.2 was chosen as a prototype for 3D computer models. The tooth was dissected into fragments 2 millimeters thick, from which the geometric parameters of hard tissues and the position of the root canal were removed. Based on these data, a 3D model of the tooth was built. Based on the 2.2 tooth model, 5 models of the same tooth were constructed, simulating the stages of its root formation.Results. In all models, with an increase in the channel width in the apex area from 0.3 mm to 2.55 mm, the current density in this area decreased from 26.92 A/m2 to 0.63 A/m2. The maximum current density in the models was recorded in the narrowest part of the root canal and ranged from 26.01 A/m2 to 26.75 A/m2.Conclusions. The strength of the diagnostic current that causes a response in patients during electrodontometry depends on the configuration of the root canal, namely, on the cross–sectional area in the narrowest part of the root canal, where the maximum current density is recorded. The current density at which patients have a response to electrodontometry is 26-27 A/m2. |
