We have used radioautographic tracing to show that somatic nerves of rat molars fan out in the coronal pulp to end in an extensive subodontoblast. plexus, on coronal odontoblasts, and along their dentinal processes. Molar response dentin has sparse innervation. Incisors have only a few somatic nerve endings that occur near pulp blood vessels.
