INFLAMMATION OF THE PULP

a SOFT TISSUE of mesenchymal origin residing within the pulp chamber and root canals of teeth.

(a)  

pulp chamber

(a)  

root canal

(a)  

the pulp tissue with the presence of odontoblast are the ones responsible for the FORMATION of primary dentin

(a)  

the presence of secondary and tertiary dentin gives PROTECTION making the pulp tissue further from the source

(a)  

there is a direct connection between arterioles and

venules which gives NUTRITION and food and maintains

the vitality of the tooth

(a)  

The different terminal branches of trigeminal nerve

(a)  

Even if there are different stimulus, pulp tissue cannot

distinguish these different stimulus and PAIN IS THE ONLY ONE FELT

(a)  

the only sensory that can the pulp feel

(a)  

may be direct (exposure of the pulp) and

indirect (application of calcium hydroxide if there is evidence

of pulpal proximity; direct application can cause

inflammation and not form secondary dentin)
