Characteristic:
Simply place the digitest’s autoclavable tip on the suspect tooth and
press the begins to increase at a rate you have preselected
(slow-medium- fast). Because there are no sudden jumps in power (as
when you twist a knob), the patient feels the stimulus long before it
crosses the “pain” threshold. Large LED indicate the strength of the
stimulus.
If the patient indicates perception, you simply release the button.
The stimulus stops immediately, but the numbers remain frozen on the
face for about 5 seconds. Then the device turns itself off( no wasted
batteries).
