The internet's echo chamber (mainly through dental websites) claims that irreversible pulpitis exists when a cold test causes a lingering sensation for more than XX seconds.
I read in some scientific articles that a cold test can only differentiate between vital and necrotic pulp, but not reliably indicate the state of pulpal inflammation.
What is right?
It is getting interesting, when, in a multirooted tooth, you have a combination of necrotic and vital pulp.
