An experimental stand for in vitro investigations of transient heat transfer phenomena in human teeth is described. The stand has been designed to reproduce thermal conditions of the environment of the oral cavity. In this particular case. special attention was paid to simulation of the heat transfer by the pulp. Appropriate modifications have been introduced into the experimental set-up. The measurements confirmed that they enabled very close replication of real conditions. The paper presents results of test measurement and results of preliminary numerical calculations for the heat conduction in incisor tooth. In this particular case, effects of exposition of the tooth to radiation of two different dental polymerisation lamps have been compared. As a result the methodology of verification of theoretical modelling of heat transfer and heat transmission-related effects in teeth have been developed and described.
