It mayalso be possible that the attachment de-pends to some measure upon the enamelspindles, which lose their vitality andfunction with the death of the pulp. From the foregoing we may concludethat a healthy pulp is a valuable asset to a tooth which is to endure direct stresssuch as that of mastication or of sup-port to a filling. In teeth, however, Fig. which are ground down and entirely cov-ered by crowns, little crushing stress isbrought to bear upon the dentin, and Fig. 3.
