Popis: – The purpose of this study was to examine the age-related changes in human pulpal blood flow (PBF). Recordings were taken from 22 clinically healthy upper central incisors in 22 healthy participants (age: 8–75 years). A Moor blood flow monitor (type MBF3D) was used to measure PBF; and subjects' electrocardiogram (ECG), mean blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were also recorded. The resting PBF was significantly decreased with the increased age of the participants (Pearson's correlation coefficient, P
