title: [The fine structure of the dental pulp].
abstract: Root pulp usually contains more collagen fibrils than coronal pulp. The fibrils consolidate to form fibrinous bundles only to a very slight extent. Involution of the odontoblasts occurs with advancing age. If such involution is absent, an irregular layer of hard substance is deposited on the canal wall. A homogeneous line of adhesive can be seen on the wall at the border with the root pulp. The tissue character of the pulp however is preserved. Perineurium is absent around the nerves in human pulp.
