Effects of Heat on Oxygen Consumption in Bovine Dental Pulp

Abstract
Oxygen respiration was studied in bovine pulp slices exposed to temperatures of 50, 55, 80, and 100C. Results indicated that respiration is affected at 50C and destroyed at 55C. The significant but subnormal oxygen consumption measured in tissue heated at 80 and 100C is thought to be caused by autooxidation.
