Subjective Tooth Assessment: Number of Teeth With Normal and Abnormal PulpPrimary· Single visit, less than one hour testing
Conventional subjective tooth assessments (percussion, palpation, cold, and electrical pulp testing) will be used for teeth that are planned for extraction and also upto 2-5 additional teeth in each participant. Pulp status is determined as "normal" or "abnormal" according to the classification system from the American Academy of Endodontics.

Objective Tooth Assessment: Pulse Oximetry Reading for Selected TeethSecondary· Single visit, less than one hour testing
Objective plural blood flow measurements will be used for teeth that are planned for extraction and also up to 2-5 additional teeth in each participant. Average objective plural blood flow was determined by pulse oximetry-reading for selected teeth (measured as SpO2).

Sponsor's own description
The purpose of this study is to assess tooth health by using a pulse oximeter which measures the blood flow within the tooth. This method is not currently being used in dentistry. We hypothesize that if we can measure both sensation and blood flow in a tooth, we will be able to better determine if the tooth is "alive or dead". In the future, this method may help determine which teeth are diseased and require dental treatments.
