Abstract
Human third molars from individuals between 12 and 24 yrs of age, were used to determine the influence of eruption and/or clinical occlusion upon the distribution of nerve terminals within the dental pulp. The nerve terminals in the pulp of the erupted teeth were traced to the odontoblastic zone. A few nerve fibers formed loops in the predentin. The number of terminal branches in the pulp of the non-erupted teeth decreased, and those present reached the pulp-odontoblastic border.Keywords
