This study evaluated the microscopic characteristics and densities (per mm2) of tryptase+ mast cells, CD4+ T helper lymphocytes, CD45RO+ memory T lymphocytes, foxp3+ T regulatory lymphocytes, CD20+ B lymphocytes, CD68+ macrophages, and CD31+ blood vessels in human dental pulpitis (n = 38). Methods: Tryptase, CD4, CD45RO, foxp3, CD20, CD68, and CD31 expressions were analyzed using immunohistochemistry; other microscopic features, such as intensity of inflammatory infiltrate and collagen deposition, were evaluated after staining with hematoxylin and eosin. Results: Two microscopic patterns of dental pulpitis were found: group 1 (G1) (n = 15) showed intense inflammatory infiltrate and mild collagen deposition; conversely, group 2 (G2) (n = 23) showed scarce inflammatory infiltrate and intense collagen deposition. The numbers of CD68+ and CD20+ cells and the density of blood vessels were higher in G1 than in G2. However, there were no differences in CD4+ and CD45RO+ cell densities between groups. When present, mast cells were equally distributed in G1 and G2, whereas foxp3+ cells were detected in 58.82% and 14.28% of the samples of G1 and G2. Conclusions: Immune and inflammatory cell infiltration have different patterns in human dental pulpitis, which might reflect distinct microscopic characteristics and particular local defense capabilities. / Células imune-inflamatórias podem contribuir para defesa do hospedeiro e alterações no microambiente durante a patogênese das pulpites dentárias. O presente estudo avaliou as características microscópicas e as densidades (por mm2) de mastócitos triptase+, linfócitos T helper CD4+, linfócitos T de memória CD45RO+, linfócitos T regulatórios foxp3+, linfócitos B CD20+, macrófagos CD68+ e vasos sanguíneos CD31+ em pulpites dentárias humanas (n = 38). Métodos: Expressões de triptase, CD4, CD45RO, foxp3, CD20, CD68 e CD31 foram analisadas por imunoistoquímica; outras características microscópicas, como a intensidade de infiltrado inflamatório e colagenização, foram avaliadas após a coloração com hematoxilina e eosina. Resultados: Dois padrões microscópicos distintos de pulpites dentárias foram observados: Grupo 1 (G1) (n=15) apresentou intenso infiltrado inflamatório e pouca colagenização; o Grupo 2 (G2) (n=23) apresentou escasso infiltrado inflamatório e intensa colagenização. Os números de células CD68+ e CD20+ bem como a densidade de vasos sanguíneos foram maiores no G1 comparadas ao G2. Entretanto, não houveram diferenças nas densidade celulares de CD4+ e CD45RO+ em ambos os grupos. Quando presentes, os mastócitos estiveram igualmente distribuídos em G1 e G2, enquanto as células foxp3+ foram detectadas em 58.82% e 14.28% de G1 e G2, respectivamente. Conclusões: Tipos diferentes de infiltração celular imune-inflamatória foram identificados em pulpites dentárias humanas, as quais podem refletir padrões microscópicos distintos de respostas com capacidade particular de defesa local.
