Abstract
Alternative current (ac) current conduction through a human tooth has been investigated through numerical simulation. Numerical calculation of impedance between the file (electrode) inserted in the root canal of the tooth and the outer electrode enables investigation of the impedance method used in dentistry for evaluation of the root canal length. Simulations confirm the improved sensitivity of the impedance method using the results of multiple frequency measurements.
