The Dental Pulp: Vital Core of Tooth Functionality
Abstract: Dental pulp, an intricately specialized mesenchymal tissue, possesses limited regenerative capabilities attributable to the unique anatomical arrangement and the post-mitotic nature of odontoblastic cells. The process of complete pulp amputation, subsequent disinfection of the pulp space, and the insertion of synthetic materials results in the substantial loss of dentin, leading to enduring consequences such as a non-vital and structurally weakened tooth.Nevertheless, a beacon of hope emerges in the form of …
