Figure 1

Pulp exposure and moderate inflammatory process. A cavity (C) was drilled on the mesial aspect of the six-week-old rat’s first maxillary molar. One week after the pulp exposure, dentin debris is pushed in the pulp exposure. A moderate inflammatory reaction is seen in the mesial pulp horn (white asterisk). Hematoxylin-eosin staining. P = pulp.
