8. The nerve of pulp consist of :
? Afferent nerves : conduct impulses to be
received as a pain
? Sympathetic fibers : regulation of micro
circulation in pulp

16. 1. Bacterial
A- coronal ingress
? Caries: the most common cause
of ingress of bacteria to pulp
? Fractured crown
? Anomalous tract: as dens invaginatus ,
dens evaginatus and radicular lingual groove
17. B- radicular ingress
? Caries: less common than
coronal caries
? Retrogenic infection:
periodontal pocket
? Hematogenic infection:
anachoresis
34. ? Dental materials
* monomer in composite restorations .
* Amalgam, has cytotoxic effect .
*cements, some has potential irritation to pulp
e.g. Free phosphoric acid in phosphate cements .
* Etching agents , if placed over 15 seconds in dentin
can cause chronic inflammation of the pulp .
35. ? Antibacterial agents
* Antibacterial agents as silver nitrate, phenol and eugenol which was used
to sterilize the cavity preparation have shown cytotoxic effects and causes
inflammatory changes
