Pulp re-innervation in re-implanted canine teeth of the cat.
This was investigated 24 weeks post-operatively by light and electron microscopy. The number of axons in the pulp at the root apex ranged from 7.5 to 76.2 per cent of the number in the contralateral control tooth. The myelinated fibres were smaller and did not penetrate as far as the coronal pulp.
