[Peptidergic innervation of the human dental pulp: neuropeptide Y].

: The localization and distribution of the Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been studied with immunofluorescent methods in the human dental pulp. Immunofluorescence for the NPY has been observed in nervous fibers running in medium and big nerves associated in vascular structures, and in single fibers scattered in the pulpar connective or organized in the subdontoblastic plexus.
