Gap junctions are numerous in the odontoblast layer of the dental pulp and may link sensory axons to odontoblasts. If these junctions do link axons and odontoblsts, they, together with the axons, should disappear after cutting the pulpal nerves centrally. Under general anesthesia the inferior alveolar nerve on one side of two young adult cats was sectioned. Under general anesthesia the animals were perfused with fixative 56 hours later and the coronal dental pulp prepared for electron microscopy. Ultrathin sections were examined from the level of the pulpal cornu and levels approximately one, two, and three mm below this. The incidence of cell processes and gap junctions was measured at different distances from the pulp predentin junction, and operated and control sides compared.
