Abstract
The effect of the rate of increase of electrical current during stimulation of human teeth was examined on clinically sound upper anterior teeth. The teeth were stimulated with a current of 10 msec duration at a frequency of 50 Hz. Eight different rates of current increase were used, viz.: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 μa/sec.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
