Abstract
When administering anaesthesia a dentist has to rely on patient feedback. Most patients are aware when the numbing has taken effect, and the dentist can proceed with the surgery. There is a significant minority of people who cannot feel if their teeth have been numbed properly. On one end of the spectrum are people with immense fear of needles, and on the other, people with immense fear of pain. The former suffers from too little anesthesia, while the latter from too much. Our device, TDMS (Trans Dental Monitoring Solution), will assist the dentist in determining when the proper level of anaesthesia has been administered. It will also serve to monitor the effects of anaesthesia during a dental procedure. When a specific amount of current is applied to a tooth, the patient experiences a touch sensation. It is important to note that this sensation is painless.
