    The Dental Pulp

    The dental pulp is the soft tissue located within the pulp chamber and root canals of teeth. It is responsible for forming dentin and remains active throughout life. The pulp contains four zones - the odontoblastic zone adjacent to the dentin, the cell-free zone beneath it, the cell-rich zone, and the pulp core containing blood vessels and nerves. A normal pulp is asymptomatic in response to thermal or electrical stimuli and the response subsides quickly once the stimulus is removed.

    THE DENTAL PULP

    Dr.amithbabu.c.b
    MScD-ENDO
    DEFINITION
     The pulp is a soft tissue of mesenchyme origin
    residing within the pulp chamber and root canals
    of teeth..
     The close relationship between the odontoblasts
    and dentin is one of several reasons why the
    dentin and pulp should be considered as a
    functional entity, sometimes referred to as the
    pulp-dentin complex
    INTRODUCTION
     Non-mineralised vascular tissue
     Responsible for the formation of dentine
     Contained within pulp chamber and root canal of
    the tooth.
     Remains active through out life.
    THE DENTAL PULP
    COMPONENTS OF DENTAL PULP
    FOUR ZONES
     Odontoblastic zone – located at the periphery of the pulp
    adjacent to the dentine.

     Cell-free zone – beneath the odontoblast is a cell – free zone


    also known as the zone of Weils.
     Cell-rich zone – beneath the cell-free zone is an area with a
    high cell density.

     Pulp Core – is the area where major blood vessels and


    nerves are found
    HISTOLOGY OF DENTAL PULP

    A-odontoblast
    B-cell-free zone (of Weil)
    C-cell-rich zone
    NORMAL FEATURES OF PULP
     A normal tooth is (a) asymptomatic and exhibits a
    (b) mild to moderate transient response to
    thermal and electric pulpal stimuli; and (c) the
    response subsides almost immediately when such
    stimuli are removed. (d) The tooth and its
    attachment apparatus do not cause a painful
    response when percussed and palpated
    DIAGNOSTIC TEST
    Diagnostic test Normal pulp
    Cold test Normal Response
    Heat test Normal Response
    EPT Normal Response
