INFLAMMATION OF THE DENTAL PULP. 467 nective-tissue cells involved in tlie affected area produces a like result inthem, and by the action of the pyogenic bacteria which have gained accessthrough external channels, or through the avenue of the circulation, theexudates and the tissues are converted into pus. These abscesses are usu-ally situated near the point of exposure, and are rarely found says it is not uncommon to find several minute pus-pockets at alittle distance from the point of exposure. The abscess may, however,occupy the central portion of the pulp. Burchard removed such a pulp,the abscess involving nearly its entire structure, but leaving the peripheralportion unbroken, as shown in Fig. 504.

Black has found abscesses in the deeper structures of the pulp, mostfrequently in the molars. Fig. 505 shows such an abscess in a central in-cisor, about midway of its length, the coronal portion of which was sup-purating, while the evidences of inflammation within the deeper structureswas rather more extended than is common. Suppurative inflammation of the pulp under cappings and large fillingsused to be a frequent occurrence before the introduction of antiseptics inthe treatment of surgical wounds. To-day, however, such occurrences aremuch more rare by reason of the improved methods of treatment whichhave been based upon this great scientific discovery.
