1) improper isolation and inaccurate drying of the teeth before testing;
2) partial pulp necrosis;
3) pulp necrolysis;
4) immature teeth with nor formed apexes;
5) extensive mineral deposits in the canal.
Correct answer is:
  1. A. 1,5.
  2. B. 2,3.
  3. C. 2,4,5.
  4. D. only 5.
  5. E. 1,4.

A false negative means a vital pulp fails to respond; think of situations where nerve fibres are immature, shielded or only partly preserved.
