Estimation of the Time of Death by Evaluating Histological Changes in the Pulp
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Dental pulp is enclosed in hard tissue and hence it is well protected and preserved for long time. Preservation of dental pulp is seen long after damage to other tissues is evident. Thus it is an ideal tissue for analysis of post-mortem changes. In this study we have made an attempt to quantify the amount of degenerative changes in pulp at increasing time interval. We have analyzed the changes in staining characteristics and structural details, in Haematoxylin and Eosin stained pulp tissue harvested at varying time intervals.
