- Endodontics is simply the science of the internal anatomy of the tooth, that is the pulp of the tooth. And the hence the field endodontics deals with the anatomy, the pathology and the treatment that is concerned with the pulp of the tooth.
- Pulp of the tooth is located in the core of the tooth, protected by two layer of hard tissues. The pulp is where all the blood vessels and nerves lie and provide nutrient and vitality to the tooth.
- Vitality of the pulp is very important to defend the tooth. Watch the video to know how.
- There are various ways a bacteria can gain access to the pulp. Most common out of all is caries. caries is the single most common cause of pulpal exposures. More are discussed in the video.
