	Pulp (tooth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The dental pulp is the part in the center of a tooth made up of living soft tissue and cells called odontoblasts and others.
		An inflammation of a pulp it is known as pulpitis.
		It is also the place where the blood vessels and nerve endings are located.

	Tooth Decay \| AHealthyMe.com
		Tooth decay is the destruction of the outer surface, or enamel, of a tooth.
		Tooth decay, which is also called dental cavities or dental caries, is the destruction of the outer surface (enamel) of a tooth.
		Tooth decay in pits and fissures may be differentiated from dark shadows in the crevices of the chewing surfaces by a dye that selectively stains parts of the tooth that have lost mineral content.

		A tooth abscess is a collection of infected material (pus) resulting from bacterial infection of the center (pulp) of a tooth.
		A tooth abscess is a complication of tooth decay.
		The center of the tooth, including the nerve and vascular tissue (pulp), is removed along with decayed portions of the tooth.

		Enamel - the shiny, hard, white tissue covering the tooth is the strongest tissue in your body.
		Root canal containing pulp tissue - this is the passage or channel in the root of the tooth extending from the pulp chamber to the apical foramen (the main opening of the root canal).
		This tissue cushions both the tooth and the surrounding bone against the shock of chewing and biting.

		Pathophysiology: The usual cause is a directed force sufficient to overcome the bond between the affected tooth and the periodontal ligament within the cradling alveolar socket.
		The primary goal of rapid reimplantation is to preserve the periodontal ligament, not the tooth.
		The avulsed tooth inevitably requires a root canal; however, if the periodontal ligament survives, the degree and timeliness of root resorption is improved and ankylosis is decreased.

	Neuroscience For Kids - tooth
		The tooth pulp lies in the middle of the tooth.
		Rather, touching the tooth activates nerve fibers in the periodontal ligament (the ligament that surrounds the tooth) that are very sensitive to slight displacement of the tooth.
		However, if the tooth is damaged by decay or trauma, the nerve fibers inside the tooth may respond to external stimuli and when they are, you are sure to feel pain.

	Root Canals
		Tooth pulp is a soft tissue made up of nerves, arteries, and veins.
		You may have realized that you had an infected tooth because it was sensitive to hot and cold, was swollen and painful, or had given you a bad taste in your mouth.
		In any case, when the tooth pulp becomes damaged, it becomes vulnerable to infection from bacteria that are normally present in your mouth.

	Olympus MIC-D: Darkfield Gallery - Human Tooth Root
		As the anchor to a human tooth, the root extends into the bone of the jaw and houses the nerves and blood vessels that carry nutrients to the tooth.
		Severe pain in the tooth is sensed when biting down, chewing with the diseased tooth, or applying heat or cold, such as by drinking hot coffee or eating a frozen dessert.
		Using biomechanics, tooth roots must resist the loads applied to the tooth crown, and their various forms appear to be adapted to the varying loads experienced by different teeth within the mouth of a primate.

	Lab Exercises- Developing tooth
		Very early tooth development can be seen in both the upper and lower jaw on both sides of the mouth.
		The innermost region is the dental papilla which is the future pulp cavity.
		This section of a decalcified tooth has a missing crown, because the enamel, with its high content of calcium salts and low content of organic material has been completely dissolved during decalcification.

		Don't blame your dentist, most likely you had a cavity near the pulp tissue or was missing a substantial portion of the tooth prior to restoration.

		Common to all luxation injuries is trauma to the neurovascular supply to the pulp and to the tooth’s supporting structures...
		The greater the injury to the pulp’s blood supply, the greater the likelihood of pulp necrosis.
		So after stabilization, the progress should be monitored periodically with an electronic pulp tester to test vitality** and with radiographs to check for continued root development (a certain sign of revascularization) or alternatively infection-related resorption, which indicates infection and necrosis.

	Root Canal
		Trauma – a physical blow to a tooth or a constant striking of a tooth in the opposite jaw that traumatizes the tooth.
		Regardless of the initial cause, the tooth pulp becomes irritated and an abscess (infection) occurs.
		Eventually the pulp dies, causing the bone around the tooth to be destroyed.

		Pain associated with the pulp of the tooth is kind of tricky.
		If the tooth feels sensitive to air, cover it with a piece of gauze, a small piece of dental wax (available at many pharmacies), or a bit of chewed sugarless chewing gum (use the teeth on the opposite side of the mouth to chew the gum) until you can get to the dentist.

		Root canal treatment (endodontics) treats disorders of the nerve (also called the pulp) of the tooth It used to be that a tooth with a diseased or infected nerve in it had to be removed.
		Bacteria grows within the tooth pulp, causing pressure and if a cavity forms and is allowed to go untreated for too long, it can penetrate to the root pulp where and infection can occur pain, sometimes accompanied by swelling of the face.
		The tooth may be isolated with a rubber dam, which confines the treatment area and protects the mouth from bacteria and chemical agents.

	Root Canals - From the Cleveland Clinic
		During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
		The pulp or pulp chamber is the soft area within the center of the tooth.
		Because a tooth that needs a root canal often is one that has a large filling or extensive decay or other weakness, a crown, crown and post or other restoration often needs to be placed on the tooth to protect it, prevent it from breaking and restore it to full function.

	The Truth About Teeth
		A primary tooth falls out because it is being pushed out of the way by a permanent tooth that is behind it.
		The nerve endings inside the pulp send messages to the brain about what's going on, like "That Popsicle is too cold!" The pulp also contains the tooth's blood vessels, which feed the tooth and keep it alive and healthy.
		Both the dentin and the pulp go all the way down into the root of the tooth, which is under the gum.

		It is possible that you have an abscess, which is an infection in the tooth and/or gum and bone tissue.
		Temporary tooth sensitivity is normal after dental treatment, as it often disturbs the nerves within the pulp layer.

	Cavities: Tooth Disorders: Merck Manual Home Edition
		For tooth decay to develop, a tooth must be susceptible, acid-producing bacteria must be present, and food must be available for the bacteria to thrive.
		A susceptible tooth is one that has relatively little protective fluoride incorporated into the enamel or that has pronounced pits, grooves, or fissures that retain plaque.
		The tooth then may become sensitive when the person bites or when the tongue or a finger presses on it, because the area at the end of the root has become inflamed or because infection has caused an abscess (a collection of pus).

	Toothache — Explanation regarding the many causes of this common ailment on MedicineNet.com
		In most instances, toothaches are caused by tooth or jaw problems, such as a dental cavity, a cracked tooth, an exposed tooth root, gum disease, disease of the jaw joint (temporo- mandibular joint), or spasms of the muscles used for chewing.
		The treatment of an infected tooth is either removal of the tooth or a root canal procedure.
		The root canal procedure involves removing the dying pulp tissue (thus avoiding or removing tooth infection) and replacing it with an inert material.

	Information resources to help you learn about cosmetic dentistry - Tooth Decay
		Tooth decay, which causes cavities, is caused by several factors including poor dental hygiene.
		The cause is the invasion of your tooth by bacteria through food particles remaining on your tooth, and along with the bacteria turn into a sticky substance called tooth plaque.
		When the tooth decay reaches into the dentin, it can destroy its way rapidly towards the "pulp" of the tooth (the pulp contains living cells, blood vessels and nerves).

		You may not even be able to tell which tooth hurts or whether the pain is from an upper or lower tooth.

		If the pulp becomes damaged or diseased as a result of the crack, root canal treatment may be necessary to save the tooth.
