Abstract

Disclosed is a thermal tester for a dental clinic for accurately measuring dental pulp thermal sensitivity by rapidly delivering heat at a predetermined temperature to a tooth. The thermal tester for a dental clinic of the present invention comprises: a tester body having on one side a protruding heat transfer terminal provided with a contact surface that comes into contact with the tooth; and a heating unit for heating the heat transfer terminal, wherein the heating unit includes a first heating element and a second heating element, which, in a mutually electrically insulated state, penetrate the inside of the tester body, and extend to the heat transfer terminal, wherein the respective end portions of the first and second heating elements, which face the contact surface of the heat transfer terminal, closely contact each other to generate thermoelectricity. Accordingly, the present invention as configured above improves treatability by effectively controlling the generated heat and accurately measuring dental pulp thermal sensitivity.
