  • Weak oppose I'm a bit particular for images like these. I wonder where the nerves came from, the just sort of materialize near the base of the tooth. They should be similar to the vasculature. Mattximus (talk) 23:50, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Have added lines to indicate path of nerve (which more or less parallels that of the blood vessels). This puts it in line with (really, ahead of) most textbook images of a decaying tooth (see here for a long list of examples that aren't quite as good!).
