“…Dental pulp can be described as a loose vascular connective tissue, surrounded by dentine and consisting of cells (fibroblasts) and fibres (collagen, oxytalan and elastin) embedded in ground substance (1). The extracellular componentsproteoglycans, adhesive glycoproteins, collagen and water (in a colloid state)have traditionally been held responsible for the physiological properties of connective tissues, such as mechanical support and physical strength (2).These matrix components also provide an extracellular environment that facilitates the laying down and maturation of fibres.…”
