Goi'dferd Study of the electrical resistance of parodontium can be very useful for diagnosis of the functional state of pulp [1-3]. Treatment efficacy often depends on reliable and prompt electrodontodiagnosis. Generally, dentists use intact teeth or teeth already subjected to prosthetics as a basis of a denture taking no account of the functional state of pulp. This often causes clinical mistakes and results in premature removal of dentures, depulpation, or removal of abutment teeth. Assessment of the state of pulp is of considerable importance in manufacture of metalloplastic and cermet dentures, because this process includes thermal and mechanical impact on dental tissues. This, along with possible contamination, disturbs the normal state of pulp and can cause various complications in the state of the parodontium of abutment teeth. Orthopedic treatment which takes no account of the state of pulp of abutment teeth can cause undesirable effects, either immediately after treatment or later. Thus, it is clear that development of a device for determination of the state of pulp is an important problem. Such a device would be
