“…Table 2 depicts the main characteristics and findings of the included studies. They were published between 1964 (Meyer et al., 1964) and 2023 (Kim et al., 2023). Several principal approaches have been used for pulp vitality assessment (Figure 2), including optical diagnostic methods (Dar et al., 2020; Hill, 1986; Ikawa et al., 1994; Miwa et al., 2002; Nissan et al., 1992), UDF (Cho & Park, 2015; Kim & Park, 2016), MRI (Assaf et al., 2015; Kress et al., 2004), tooth temperature measurements (Ajith Kamath & Nasim, 2020; Mendes et al., 2020; Paredes et al., 2018) and other techniques such as terahertz imaging (Hirmer et al., 2012).…”

“…Amongst all the included articles, nearly 45% (30 out of 65) were published before 2000. The more recent publications utilized UDF (Kim et al., 2023), transillumination (Proulx et al., 2022), MRI (Juerchott et al., 2022), speckle imaging (Xu et al., 2021), tooth temperature measurements (Ajith Kamath & Nasim, 2020; Mendes et al., 2020) and plethysmography (Dar et al., 2020).…”

“…There is no clear standard in UDF parameters for a normal pulp and a pathologic pulp. The angle or location of the probe design, probe holder characteristics (Cho & Park, 2015) and gingival blood flow (Kim et al., 2023) can affect the values obtained (Ahn et al., 2018b).…”

IntroductionDiagnostic procedures for pulp vitality assessment are a crucial aspect of routine dental practice. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of nontraditional techniques and methodologies for assessing pulp vitality, specifically exploring promising approaches that are currently not used in dental practice.MethodsThe study protocol was registered a priori (https://osf.io/3m97z/). An extensive electronic search was conducted across multiple databases, including MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase. Inclusion criteria were guided by the research question based on the PCC model as follows: “What are the potential nontraditional techniques (Concept) for assessing pulp vitality (Population) in the field of endodontics or clinical practice (Context)?” Studies were included that explored possible approaches to pulp vitality assessment, utilizing a range of techniques, whilst any studies using traditional pulp tests (cold, heat, and electric stimulation) or well‐known methods (pulse oximetry and laser Doppler flowmetry) were excluded. Reviewers independently screened articles and extracted data. A patent search was also performed.ResultsOf 3062 studies, 65 were included that described nontraditional approaches for assessing pulp vitality. These included a range of optical diagnostic methods, ultrasound Doppler flowmetry (UDF), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), terahertz imaging, tooth temperature measurements, as well as invasive methodologies, including 133xenon washout, radioisotope‐labelled tracers, hydrogen gas desaturation, intravital microscopy and fluorescent microspheres isotope clearance. The patent search included artificial intelligence and biomarkers methods.ConclusionsThis review provides details for potential innovative tests that may directly describe pulp vitality. Importantly, these methods range from clinically impractical through to promising methods that may transform clinical practice. Several nontraditional techniques have the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and could provide valuable insights into the assessment of pulp vitality in challenging clinical scenarios.
