The pulp is very irregular; some of the teeth,especially those resembling incisors and canines, may lack acentral chamber. In a multicuspidate tooth the pulp-chamber OVARIAN TEETH 555 is of fair size. In some the pulp is converted into secondary-dentine (Fig. 293); in others it is full of fat-globules. Thepresence of nerves in the pulps of ovarian teeth was assertedby Salter, and tissue resembling nerve-fibrils may be detectedin pulp suitably prepared. Ovarian teeth develop on thesame principle as normal teeth (Figs. 292, 294).
