pulp and dentin
where is pulp located
centrally located tissue in the tooth
coronal pulp is where
crown
radicular pulp is where
in root
fibers of pulp
many collagen fibers
what cells form and maintain collagen in pulp(pulp matrix and ground substance); largest group of cells in the pulp(in cell rich zone)
fibroblasts
help to eliminate dead cells in the pulp
macrophages
WBC; helps in defense in the pulp
lymphocytes
function as cell pool when a new odontoblast or fibroblast is needed in pulp
undifferentiated mesenchymal cells
are there adipose cells in the pulp?
no
form a layer lining the periphery; cell body live in the pulp; cell process extend in the dentin
odontoblasts
what is the 2nd largest group of cells in the pulp?
odontoblasts
outer periphery of the pulp(zone)
odontoblastic zone
zone underneath odontoblastic zone; contains a nerve and capillary plexus; fewer cells than odontoblastic zone
cell free zone of Weil
zone where cell density is very high; mainly fibroblasts
cell rich zone
centrally located where major vessels and nerves are located
pulp core
early pulp interacts and initiates tooth formation
inductive
rich blood supply that forms capillary plexus surrounding odontoblasts
nutritive
odontoblastic cells of pulp form dentin
formative
response to stimuli may trigger formation of reactive/reparative dentin
protective
pulp response to stimuli the brain receives as pain
sensory
in the pulp, blood vessels enter and exit by the _______
apical foramen
extensive vascular network formed in the cell free zone in pulp
capillary plexus
are pulp vessels innervated?
yes
what is a neurovascular bundle?
artery, vein, and a nerve
the nerve cell bodies from the dentinal tubules are located:
between odontoblastic cell bodies in pulp
two types of myelinated fibers in pulp
autonomic, afferent
