pulp cavity

Unlike other parts of the body where pressure can dissipate through the surrounding soft tissues, the pulp cavity is very different.

The teeth had well defined pulp cavity and were made of both bone and dentine.

The pulp cavity inherently provides the body with an immune system response challenge, which makes it very difficult for a bacterial infection to be eliminated.

The infection probably developed because the pulp cavity of a broken dentary tooth was exposed to bacteria.

In root canal treatment, your dentist removes the pulp from the center of a tooth and fills the pulp cavity.

The grooves form deep invaginations that constrict the inner pulp cavity of the tooth.

In such a case, the 'skeleton' of the teeth would consist of the dentine, with a hollow pulp cavity.

The roots are broken off, but remaining pulp cavities suggest the presence of four main roots, which are partially joined into two pairs.

The faintly discernible lines found around the tusk nerve or pulp cavities are the inner Schreger lines.

It is a progressive disease, usually starting with loss of cementum and dentin and leading to penetration of the pulp cavity.

The pulp is a soft tissue area containing the nerve and blood vessels to nourish and protect the tooth, located within the pulp cavity.

A smaller pulp cavity between those roots suggests the likely presence of a fifth root and a slight depression in the tooth may represent another root.

Even in badly decayed skeletons, hard shells of dentine usually protect the pulp cavities of teeth, preserving the DNA inside.

When the pulp becomes inflamed, pressure begins to build up in the pulp cavity, exerting pressure on the nerve of the tooth and the surrounding tissues.

The teeth of Proplatynotia are smooth and lack plicidentine, folded layers of dentine around the center pulp cavity of the tooth.

Dentin has microscopic channels, called dentinal tubules, which radiate outward through the dentin from the pulp cavity to the exterior cementum or enamel border.

Instead of having a pulp cavity, each tooth has a cluster of thin, upright, parallel tubes of vasodentin (a modified form of dentine), with individual pulp canals, held together by cementum.

The interpretation of some examples that have been studied is that they were rings cut from the upper part of an elephant's tusk with the pulp cavity forming the natural ring (Myres and Green 1973, pp. 100-3).

The handle was carved along the axis of the tusk, as evidenced by a dark spot located above the head of the "Master of the beasts", which is the tip of pulp cavity of the tusk.

Replacement activity in Postosuchus was different from that of crocodiles, since the replacement tooth didn't fit directly in the pulp cavity of the old tooth, but grew until resorption of the old tooth was complete.

Pulp mark/Dental star: After some wear has occurred on the teeth, the central pulp cavity is exposed, and the tooth is marked by a "dental star" or "pulp mark" that is smaller than the incisor cups.

The dentine that forms the tough inner core of the tooth is a vital tissue, made of a composite of collagen and hydroxylapatite, and containing tubules that radiate from the pulp cavity at the centre of the tooth.

Based on the morphology and age of the teeth, particularly the evidence of taurodontism (enlarged pulp cavities and short roots), the teeth are believed to belong to a group of Neanderthals who hunted game in the vale of Elwy in an interglacial period.

Dr. Andrew Merriwether, a physical anthropologist from Britain who attended the meeting, said it was unlikely that DNA could be preserved in weathered bones over such a long period, but he said a tooth, which contains a protected pulp cavity, might contain usable DNA.
