| Research Abstract |
This study was designed to determine the crosstalk between sensory and sympathetic nerves in pulpitis. The sympathetic nerve fibers were demonstrated to sprout in the inflamed pulp tissues. In the second place, the P2X4 gene expression was shown to be the most suitable noticeptive marker because of its sensitive response to pain stimuli.
