It is based on the principle that the light beam’s frequency will shift when hitting moving red blood cells but will remain unshifted as it passes through static tissue. Pulse Oximetry is a non-invasive method to measure the oxygen concentration in the blood & the pulse rate, in which the light absorbed depends on the ratio of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin in the blood. Percussion & Bite test include the use of Tooth Slooth and FracFinder. Test cavity is an invasive, irreversible test which can be used in case of full coverage crown.
