Study Notes
The Pulp-Dentin Complex
- Pulp and dentin function together as a single unit.
- Both pulp and dentin embryologically originate from the ectomesenchyme.
- Odontoblasts, located in the pulp, are responsible for producing dentin.
- The pulp consists of three main components: cells, extracellular matrix, and connective tissue fibers.
