Dental pulp of a stained and decalcified tooth
This histological image showcases a decalcified and stained tooth section, providing an excellent visualization of the dental pulp's anatomical organization. The preparation technique has removed the mineral content of the hard dental tissues while preserving the soft tissue architecture, allowing for clear identification of the two primary anatomical divisions of the dental pulp: the coronal pulp chamber and the radicular pulp within the root canals.
