Table 2. Cell density values in specific regions of dental pulp tissue from different teeth.

All values were calculated from three histological sites for each one of the regions of DP among the different teeth expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. (a, b and c) indicate significant differences in each region of DP and the type of tooth. (A, B, C, D and E) indicate significance between different tooth and each region of DP, p ≤ 0.05. UD: denotes Not determined, this regions are not found in deciduous teeth.
