Cerkamed diagnostic cold spray
Cerkamed Pulp Cold Spray for Dental Pulp Sensibility Testing
Cerkamed Pulp Spray is a refrigerant cold spray designed for dental pulp sensibility testing. It provides a rapid cold stimulus to help clinicians assess a tooth's sensory response as part of endodontic diagnosis and investigation of dental pain.
Cold testing during endodontic diagnosis
Pulp Spray provides a cold stimulus that can be used during clinical examination to assess the patient's pulpal sensory response.
- Designed specifically for pulp sensibility testing
- Useful during endodontic diagnostic examination
- Can assist investigation of a symptomatic tooth
- Useful for comparison with control teeth
- Simple chairside aerosol format
Simple chairside cold-test workflow
The spray is typically applied to a suitable carrier, such as a cotton pellet, before the cold stimulus is applied to the tooth being tested. The patient's response is interpreted alongside the history, clinical examination and other diagnostic tests.
- Rapid cold stimulus
- Easy chairside application
- Useful for comparative testing
- Suitable for routine endodontic examination
Toothsaver clinical view
Cold testing is one of the most useful chairside tests when assessing pulpal status, but the response should never be interpreted in isolation.
Compare the suspected tooth with appropriate control teeth and interpret the nature, intensity and duration of the response together with the patient's symptoms, examination and radiographic findings.
Can also be used on tip of paper point to help with haemostatic control in cases with apical bleeding.
How Pulp Spray is used in diagnosis
Cold testing evaluates the sensory response of the pulp rather than directly measuring pulpal blood flow. The result therefore needs to be interpreted in the context of the complete diagnostic picture.
- Identify the tooth to be assessed and appropriate control teeth.
- Isolate and dry the tooth where appropriate.
- Apply the cold spray to a suitable carrier such as a cotton pellet.
- Apply the cold stimulus to the tooth according to your clinical protocol.
- Record the patient's response and how quickly it resolves.
- Compare the response with control teeth.
- Interpret alongside symptoms, clinical tests and radiographic findings.
When might a cold test be useful?
- Investigation of dental pain
- Assessment before endodontic treatment
- Comparison of suspected and control teeth
- Assessment following trauma where appropriate
- Evaluation before extensive restorative treatment
- Part of a broader endodontic diagnostic examination
- Check complete anaesthesia prior to endodontic treatment
Interpreting the result
The presence or absence of a response alone does not establish a definitive pulpal diagnosis. Clinically, the quality and persistence of the patient's response and comparison with control teeth are also important.
Results should therefore be considered alongside percussion, palpation, periodontal examination, radiographs and the patient's clinical history as appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cerkamed Pulp Spray used for?
Cerkamed Pulp Spray is a refrigerant cold spray intended for checking dental pulp sensibility by applying a cold stimulus during diagnostic examination.
Is Pulp Spray a pulp vitality test?
It is commonly described as a pulp vitality cold test. More precisely, a cold test assesses the sensory response of the pulp rather than directly measuring pulpal blood flow, so the result should be interpreted with other diagnostic findings.
How much Pulp Spray is supplied?
The product is supplied in a 200 ml aerosol container.
Who manufactures Pulp Spray?
Pulp Spray is manufactured by Cerkamed.
What does Cerkamed Pulp Spray contain?
The mint version contains propane-butane, alcohol and mint scent.
Should Pulp Spray be sprayed directly onto the tooth?
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your clinical protocol. Cold sprays are commonly applied to a suitable carrier such as a cotton pellet, which is then applied to the tooth being assessed.
Can a cold test diagnose pulp necrosis by itself?
No. A cold-test response should be interpreted alongside the patient's history, control teeth, clinical examination, other sensibility tests and radiographic findings.
Is Pulp Spray flammable?
Yes. It is an extremely flammable pressurised aerosol and should be stored and handled according to the manufacturer's safety instructions.
