Although the tooth is no longer alive in the sense that it lacks nerve and blood supply, it can still function normally and remain in the mouth for many years if properly cared for.

How is tooth vitality tested?
Tooth vitality is tested primarily through pulp vitality tests, which assess the health of the dental pulp. Common methods include thermal tests, where cold or heat is applied to the tooth, and electric pulp testing, which uses a small electrical current to gauge response. A healthy tooth typically reacts to these stimuli, while a non-vital tooth may not respond or might elicit an exaggerated reaction. These tests help determine whether the pulp is alive and functioning properly.
