If there is severe inflammation of the tooth, the pain can radiate to the cheek, the ear, or the jaw. These signs and symptoms may sometimes be associated with dental decay or gum disease (periodontal disease). Dental decay or an area of redness around the tooth's gum line may point to the source of pain.
What is IPT? Integrated Product Team (IPT) is a multidisciplinary, multi-university, multi-level project whose goal is to provide the opportunity for high school and undergraduate scientists and engineers to translate stakeholder needs and requirements into viable engineering designs in a team environment.
The cone penetration or cone penetrometer test (CPT) is a method used to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of soils and delineating soil stratigraphy. It was initially developed in the 1950s at the Dutch Laboratory for Soil Mechanics in Delft to investigate soft soils. Based on this history it has also been called the Dutch cone test. Today, the CPT is one of the most used and accepted in soil methods for soil investigation worldwide. The test method consists of pushing an instrumented cone, with the tip facing down, into the ground at a controlled rate (controlled between 1.5 -2.5 cm/s accepted).
