Where would you find the radicular pulp in a tooth?

The radicular pulp is located within the root of the tooth. This part of the tooth houses the nerve tissue and blood vessels that are essential for the vitality of the tooth. The radicular pulp is specifically found in the root canal systems that extend from the pulp chamber in the crown of the tooth down through the roots.

In contrast, the neck of the tooth refers to the region where the crown meets the root, but it does not contain the radicular pulp. The crown is the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, primarily comprised of enamel and dentin, but it is the pulp chamber located within the crown that connects to the root where the radicular pulp is situated. The enamel layer, which is the outermost protective layer of the tooth, does not have any nerve or blood supply either, as it is acellular. Therefore, the root is the only area containing the radicular pulp.
