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.

Diagram showing pulp histology
This histological image provides an excellent visualization of the four distinct histological zones that comprise healthy dental pulp tissue. The left side of the image shows a low-magnification view of a tooth section with pulp tissue highlighted, while the right side presents a higher-magnification view clearly delineating the four specialized zones: the odontoblast layer, the cell-free zone of Weil, the cell-rich zone, and the central pulp core.
