The e-Dx endodontic diagnostic tool is available from Jordco. The e-Dx is described as the next generation in endodontic diagnostic instruments. The instrument can easily cold and fracture test teeth. Using a special open cell foam insert, the e-Dx stores dental coolants longer, enabling a doctor to cold test multiple teeth.
The detachable contra-angled pliers are designed to securely hold the foam insert and reach posterior teeth to provide improved visibility during cold testing.
The built in FracTester can be placed onto a tooth cusp or other suspected areas to help detect fractures. The e-Dx handle is constructed of a blue colored special resin that is durable and yet can be used comfortably to fracture test teeth. The handle can be reused after processing in a hospital grade disinfectant with a tuberculocidal claim.
The e-Dx pliers tip is molded of a semi transparent thermoplastic resin. The tip reversibly mounts to the handle and is designed to engage and firmly grip the foam tip. The tips can be processed in a hospital grade disinfectant with a tuberculocidal claim prior to use, but are designed to be single-use.
Foam tips are manufactured from unique open cell foam that will contain several brands of dental coolants used to cold test teeth. It is designed to be specifically held by the e-Dx handle and is blue in color. They may be autoclave processed before use but should be properly disposed of after use.
