PULP

Which of the following structure is not found in living pulp

• Collagen fibers

• Haversian fibers

• Non myelinated nerve fibers

• Reticulum

The dental pulp contains nerve endings/receptors for

• Pain

• Pressure

• Temperature

• Propriocetion

The dental pulp is derived from

• Stellate Reticulum

• Dental sac

• Odontoblasts

• Dental Papilla

The Primary function of pulp is

• Nutritive

• Production of enamel

• Production of Dentin

• Vascular supply to teeth

Weil's zone of pulp is

• Cell degenerated zone

• Cell rich zone

• Cell regenerated zone

• Cell free zone

Cells occurring in greatest number in pulp are

• Ameloblasts

• Odontoblasts

• Fibroblasts

• Osteoblasts

Histologically, pulp most closely resembles

• Nerve tissue

• Vascular tissue

• Loose connective tissue

• Granulation tissue

Cell free zone in pulp lies

• Above odontoblast

• Below odontoblast

• In radicular pulp

• In pulp horn

The number of pulp organs in a person is

• 52

• 32

• 20

• 28

Ageing process affects pulp tissue by

• Decreasing the size and shape of pulp tissue and cellular components

• Increase cellular component at the expenses of fibrous component

• Increases vascularity of the pulp

• Decreases the calcific component of pulp
