[2025-10-02T04:17:46.843170] [PI reasoning] **Determining pulpal response**

I need to respond to a multiple-choice question asking for the initial pulpal response to any insult. The options include necrosis, ulceration, calcification, and inflammation. Based on my understanding of dental pulp pathophysiology, the first response is inflammation. So, I’ll choose option D. It might help to reference some literature to support this, like Seltzer & Bender. I'll do a quick search to gather an article that confirms this inflammation concept.
