It is composed of a central pulp chamber, pulp horns, and radicular canals. The large mass of the pulp is contained within the pulp chamber, which is contained in and mimics the overall shape of the crown of the tooth. [2] Because of the continuous deposition of the dentine, the pulp chamber becomes smaller with the age. This is not uniform ...
A root canal is the naturally occurring anatomic space within the root of a tooth.It consists of the pulp chamber (within the coronal part of the tooth), the main canal(s), and more intricate anatomical branches that may connect the root canals to each other or to the surface of the root.
Dentin is the substance between enamel or cementum and the pulp chamber. It is secreted by the odontoblasts of the dental pulp. [15] The formation of dentin is known as dentinogenesis. The porous, yellow-hued material is made up of 70% inorganic materials, 20% organic materials, and 10% water by weight. [16]
In tooth gemination, the pulp chambers and root canals tend to be joined, unlike in tooth fusion where they tend to be separate. However, the degree of separation will depend on the stage of tooth development when the gemination occurred, so the pulp chamber and/or root canal may or may not be involved. [1]
Abnormalities of the pulp chamber is the main characteristic to make a definitive diagnosis. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] In the primary teeth, coronal dentin dysplasia may appear similar to Dentinogenesis Imperfecta type II (DG-II) but if abnormalities features appear to be more pronounced in the permanent teeth, then consider changing the diagnosis to DGI ...
The structure of dentin is an arrangement of microscopic channels, called dentinal tubules, which radiate outward from the pulp chamber to the exterior cementum or enamel border. [81] The diameter of the dentinal tubules is largest near the pulp (about 2.5 μm) and smallest (about 900 nm) at the junction of dentin and enamel. [ 82 ]
Dental pulpal testing is a clinical and diagnostic aid used in dentistry to help establish the health of the dental pulp within the pulp chamber and root canals of a tooth. . Such investigations are important in aiding dentists in devising a treatment plan for the tooth being test
Conventional root canal therapy cleans and fills the pulp chamber with biologically inert material after destruction of the pulp due to dental caries, congenital deformity or trauma. Regenerative endodontics instead seeks to replace live tissue in the pulp chamber. The ultimate goal of regenerative endodontic procedures is to regenerate the ...
