Question 216 · LDEK · Pediatric endodontics
Indicate the true statement concerning defense capabilities of the pulp in deciduous teeth (not at the stage of root resorption) and newly erupted permanent teeth:
- A. they are substantially lower comparing to the capabilities of teeth in adults - the less developed tooth the bigger its defense capabilities.
- B. they are substantially bigger comparing to the capabilities of teeth in adults - the more developed tooth the bigger its defense capabilities.
- C. they are substantially bigger comparing to the capabilities of teeth in adults - the less developed tooth the bigger its defense capabilities.
- D. they are equal to the ones of the teeth in adults, as the immune system compensates the impact of tooth immaturity.
- E. they are equal to the ones of the teeth in adults - tooth maturity has no impact on the defense capabilities.
Hint
Consider how a wide apical foramen and abundant blood supply affect the healing capacity of the pulp.
