what is NOT a feature of pain increase of painful irreversible pulpitis
pain is usually localized to offending tooth
36
according to textbook, pulpal response to stimuli in both healthy and diseased pulps is a result of what

T/F: hyperplastic pulpitis is classified as a king of irreversible pulpitis
TRUE
39
no response to cold on a tooth with visible pulp space is indicative of

47
which is not found in hyperplastic pulpitis histology
