|
Term
|
Definition

Term
|
Definition
| the pulp can form the dentine that surrounds it |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the pulp supplies nutrients and oxygen to the coronal pulp |
|
|
Term
| Direct Innervation Theory |
|
Definition
| theory suggesting that nerves in the pulp extend all the way to the dentinoenamel junction and thus are directly stimulated |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| theory suggesting that odontoblasts are themselves receptors that send the signals through to the peripheral pulp and to the nerves and onto the brain |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| theory suggesting that through the movement of the fluids and odontoblastic processes within the dentinal tubules nerve endings are stimulated through pressure and thus sending the signals to the brain |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| thick band surrounding odontoblasts that prevents any substances getting through to the dentine |
