The dental pulp is the part in the center of a tooth made up of living connective tissue and cells called odontoblasts. The dental pulp is a part of the dentin–pulp complex (endodontium). The vitality of the dentin-pulp complex both during health and after injury depends on pulp cell activity and the signaling processes that regulate the cell’s behavior.
