Q

What is increased in the pulp horn in hypominarlised enamel?

A
  • Significant increases in neural density in the pulp horn and subodontoblastic region - more sensitive to neural stimuli
  • Increases in immune cell accumulation - more inflammation
  • Significant increase in vascularity - more blood supply meaning more responsive to pain
