Introduction Research and analysis show that there is a need to realize ideal diagnostic tests, especially in dentistry (Villa, Patino, Loyola, Zavala, Marti & Medina, 2013). This paper used eight studies. The capacity of both electrical and thermal pulp testing techniques to analyze pulpal sensitivity and specificity depends on the type of test chosen. According to a study carried out by Villa et al. (2013), the development of a successful treatment plan for any individual undergoing oral rehabilitation should be accompanied by the right diagnosis. As such, in the endodontic treatment, the identification of the pulp tissue status is necessary (Mejare, Bergenholtz, Peterson & Tranaeus, 2014). Population The critical appraisal, in this case, emphasized the spectrum of teeth under investigation. In all the studies, some of the selected patients had previously experienced some level of anterior maxillary trauma, while others had irreversible pulpitis secondary to dental caries. The study appraisal involved a study (Jafarzadeh & Abbott, 2011) that reviewed the pulp sensitivity tests, with the primary focus on test cavities and electric pulp tests. However, the primary concern of the entire study appraisal was to investigate pulp tests involving permanent endodontic teeth as opposed to the primary ones. All the studies appraised were in line with the requirements of the population. For example, the study conducted by Villa et al. (2013) aimed at establishing the values of electrical pulp and thermal tests in endodontic teeth. The study showed that the right tests in such cases should have several features such as being accurate, reproducible, painless, non-invasive, affordable, as well as fast. In this note, the capacity of any given diagnosis to identify vital pulp clinicians ought to carry out specificity value tests. Similarly, Chen and Abbot (2011) looked at ways through which such tests can be considered accurate and reliable. In their study, Chen and Abbott (2011) provided reliable information on the evaluation of pulp testing techniques for permanent teeth. It was evident that carrying out a predictive value test allowed the determination of the tooth sensitivity response (Chen & Abbott, 2011). Some of the studies (Chen & Abbott, 2011; Villa et al., 2013; Paryani & Kim, 2013) showed that the determination of the predictive values is significant, especially in the identification of probable correct diagnosis using either electrical pulp or thermal tests. Other studies (Paryani & Kim, 2013) focused on the regenerative treatment of patients’ permanent teeth after undergoing complete development of the root. However, even all the studies provided some information on dental pulp procedures in permanent teeth, there was still a lack of enough evidence considering that the cases used were few. For example, clinical studies involving a large sample size were necessary for the investigation of the results of regenerative endodontic therapy involving necrotic teeth that are permanent. Gold or reference standards To measure the positive and negative predictive values, specificity, and sensitivity in a clinical setting, carrying out a comparison between a “gold standard” and the results obtained can be a significant
