    Functions of The Pulp: Inductive Formative Nutritive Protective or Sensory Reparative or Defensive

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses the functions, contents, and histology of the pulp. The pulp has inductive, formative, nutritive, protective, and reparative functions. It contains odontoblasts, fibroblasts, mesenchymal cells, defense cells, fibers, ground substance, blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves. Microscopically, the pulp has four zones from outer to inner - the odontoblastic layer lined with odontoblast cell bodies, the cell-free zone with fewer cells, the cell-rich zone with increased cell density, and the pulpal-core in the center similar to the cell-rich zone.

    HISTOLOGY OF PULP
    Microscopic Zones in Pulp
    Zones-from outer to inner zone Description

    Odontoblastic layer Lines the outer pulpal wall and consists


    of the cell bodies of odontoblast.
    Secondary dentin may form in this
    area from the apposition of
    odontoblast.

    Cell-free zone Fewer cells than odontoblastic layer.


    Nerve and capillary plexus located
    here

    Cell-rich zone Increased density of cells as compared


    to cell-free zone and also a more
    extensive vascular system

    Pulpal-core Located in the center of the pulp


    chamber, which has many cells and an
    extensice vascular supply, similar to
    cell-rich zone
