PULP

In the human tooth the pulp consists of connective tissue, nerves, lymphatics, and vessels, housed within a cavity within the tooth. The pulp cavity corresponds roughly to the external shape of the tooth, and sends tubules filled with odontoblasts into the dentine. The pulp is also connected to the periodonteum through the root canals which extend through the apical foramina.
