To determine the effectiveness of a postanesthetic cold test for the detection of pulpal anesthesia, the target tooth was separated and Endo-Frost was utilized to conduct a postanesthetic cold sensibility test and was compared to the gold standard test, painful or painless sensation during actual root canal therapy. Of 52 participants, 9 had a positive response to the postanesthetic cold test and 43 had a negative response; 10 responded positively to the gold standard test, whereas 42 gave negative results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The postanesthetic cold
