pulp origin
ectomesenchymal cells of dental pappila
coronal pulp
found in pulp horn
radicular pulp
found n pulp cavity
has mesenchymal cells that form dentins
formative function of pulp
nourishes the avasc. dentin
nutritive function of pulp
free nerve endings provide pain sensation
sensory function of pulp
produce reparative dentin as needed
protective function of pulp
single layer of odontoblast lining pulp chamber
odontoblstic zone
cell free zone of Weil
devoid of cells (exccept during dentinogenesis)
has parietal plexus of nerves and plexus of BV
pulp
cell rich zone
fibroblast and undiff mesenchymal cells
fibroblast , macrophage, leukocye, blood and lymph vessels
my. symp. nerve fiebrs
collagen 1 and 3
ground substance
no elastic fibers
pulp core


denticles
concentric layers of mineralized tissues
true denticles
surround dentinal tubules or odontoblastic processes
surround dead cells or collagen fibers
false denticles
free denticles
located freelyin pulp chamber
attached denticles
attached to ant chmber wall
interstitial denticle
embedded in pulp chamber wall
dystrophic calcification
calcification of collagen bundles or collagen fibers surrounding BV and nerves
inc collagen fibers and calcifications
aging of pulp
dec. pulp chamber vol.
apical 4amen size
cells
vasc
sensitivity
effect of aging on pulp
avasc tissue about 10 micor meters thick covering radicular dentin
cementum
compositon close to bone
cementum
