    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.
