| Abstract: | Abstract The effect of intrapulpal anesthesia prior to pulpotomies was histologically studied on 12 young human premolars. In 9 teeth (75%) a mineralized bridge adjacent to the remaining pulp tissue containing dilated blood vessels was observed. The rest (25%) had no mineralized bridge and the remaining pulp tissue showed inflammation with hemorrhage as well as necrotic areas. |
