AnswerWhat are the stable cells in the pulp?
Other stable cellular elements in the pulp either belong to the vascular or the neural system. In addition, inflammatory cells such as lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages are occasionally seen. Mast cells appear to be a rare occurrence in the healthy pulp. The ground substance of the pulp has a mucoid consistency.
Which nerves are involved in innervation of the pulp?
The innervation of the pulp comprises afferent nerves which conduct sensory impulses (A-fi-bers) and autonomic nerves (C-fibers) that are mainly involved in neurogenic modulation of the blood flow but also in transmission of pain (see p. 66). The A-fibers are of the trigeminal system.
