EndodonticsA pulp polyp, also known as chronic hyperplastic pulpitis, is an inflammation of the pulp resulting from extensive carious exposure of the young pulp. This condition is a form of irreversible pulpitis that occurs when the pulp is chronically exposed to the oral environment, typically in young teeth with large apical foramina and a rich blood supply, which allows the pulp to remain vital and overgrow into the carious lesion.

Explanation: A mummifying agent, such as paraformaldehyde,

Oral PathologyCoronal dentin dysplasia is a genetic condition that affects the development of dentin, leading to abnormal pulp chamber morphology. The "thistle-tube" appearance refers to the shape of the pulp chamber, which resembles a thistle tube due to the constricted and elongated form of the pulp space. This condition is characterized by a normal crown appearance but with significant alterations in the pulp chamber and root canal system, making it distinct from other dental dysplasias.
