Which dental tissue doesn't contain nerves ?
Correct answer: B. Cementum
- A. Bone
- B. Cementum
- C. Dentin
- D. Pulp
Explanation
Cementum is avascular and lacks sensory nerves, whereas dentin and pulp are innervated and alveolar bone contains nerve fibers. This lack of innervation is one reason cementum can be resorbed without direct pain sensation.
