Arrange the following zones of the pulp from outer to inner layer in the correct
sequence:
- Odontoblastic zone
- Cell rich zone
- Cell free zone
- Central pulp
- 1324
- 1234
- 3241
- 3214
Ans. 1 (1324)
Solution. The correct sequence of zones of the pulp from outer to inner layer is:
- Cell free zone: This is the outermost layer of the pulp, also known as the zone of Weil. It
contains fewer cells and more collagen fibers. - Odontoblastic zone: This layer is located just beneath the cell-free zone and contains
odontoblasts, which are responsible for the formation of dentin. - Cell-rich zone: This is the middle layer of the pulp and contains various types of cells,
such as fibroblasts, macrophages, and immune cells. - Central pulp: This is the innermost layer of the pulp and contains blood vessels and
nerves that supply the tooth.
Therefore, the correct sequence is 1324
