Abstract
Twenty-six teeth from 8-month-old beagle dogs were used to evaluate the pulpal response
to bacteria in bacterially contaminated minimally exposed and unexposed pulp in the
dog. The effects were evaluated by means of serial radiographs, consecutive vital
dye injections, and histologic sections. Periapical lesions developed in all of the
eight teeth which were bacterially infected and exposed. Out of ten teeth which were
bacterially infected and had cavities without pulp exposure, only two teeth in the
acute group demonstrated inflammatory changes and loss of odontoblastic function directly
beneath the infected dentinal tubules. Within the limits of the experimental design,
this study demonstrated the pulpal responses of the dog with respect to bacteria.
