ABSTRACT:
A ball at one end of a handle has opposite indentations to receive the ends of cusps of opposed teeth of a patient. The other end of the handle is flattened to help position the ball. When the patient bites against the ball, a crack in a tooth near a cusp against the ball will cause pain and thereby indicate the location of a crack.
