Tip of a root of a growing molar of a rodent.

This field shows the pulp cavity (P) and the apical foramen (*), or pore at the tip of the root. The connective tissue of the pulp is continuous with the periodontal connective tissue.

The inside wall of the root shows the odontoblasts (O) applied to the newly formed dentin (D).

Some cementocytes (C) are visible on the external surface of the dentin.

The connective tissue of the periodontal ligament (L) and the bone tissue (+) are also labelled.
