On testing a tooth pulp containing nodule- with theelectric current usually a slight abnormal sensation is discernedwhich indicates hyperemia or acute partial pulpitis. However, nottoo much reliance must be placed upon such slight differences. Agood, well-defined roentgenogram is an absolute prerequisite for adiagnosis. The interpretation of a light shadow within a pulpchamber should not, however, be too hastily pronounced a pulpnodule. The localization of the existing pain and its manifested characteris of the utmost importance. In the very earlj stages of an existingpain about a tooth, one is usually more readily able to distinctlylocate the afflicted member. In the Inter periods there is alwaysa possib
