Output of three commercially available electric pulp testers were compared. Clinical threshold settings of the instruments could not be correlated to peak voltage, root mean square voltage, or power outputs determined by use of a simulated load impedance. A mathematical expression to establish a relation between threshold settings and output information is suggested.
