title: [Aging of the dental pulp].
abstract: During life, the modifications of the dental pulp are important mostly in the root portion. This area, more than the coronal part of the tooth is submitted to involution and histologic dedifferentiation. Fibrosis and calcification occur leading to severe difficulty in performing endodontic treatment.
