The e-Dx instrument is the next generation in endodontic diagnostic instruments. This instrument can easily cold and fracture test teeth. Using a special open cell foam insert the e-Dx instrument stores dental coolants longer enabling a doctor to easily cold test multiple teeth. The detachable contra-angled pliers are designed to securely hold the foam tip and reach posterior teeth providing improved visibility during cold testing. The built in FracTester™ can be placed onto a tooth cusp to help detect fractures.
TECHNICAL SUMMARY
e-Dx Handle: 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 handle can withstand limited steam autoclaving.
e-Dx Plier Tips: The e-Dx pliers tip is molded of a semi transparent thermoplastic resin. The removable tip 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.
e-Dx Foam Tips: The foam tips are manufactured from a 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 single-use.
WARNING: Discard the handle if the foam plier can no longer be safely retained

Reusable Handle
The FracTester™ handle can be reprocessed using a hospital grade disinfectant with a tuberculocidal claim. To save time after processing, your assistant can preload a new plier and foam tip onto the handle and store for future use. The handle can also withstand limited steam autoclaving.
Snap Assembly
The unlocked pliers tip inserts into the FracTester™ handle with a positive snap. After use, the pliers and foam can be easily removed and disposed of properly.
Precise Cold Testing
The unique foam can be trimmed as needed to precisely fit the tooth surface and helps prevent accidental cold exposure to soft tissue.
