Histochemistry and scanning electron microscopy of tooth integumental material in humans.

Plaque material on human teeth was investigated using histochemical techniques and scanning electron microscopy. A positive reaction for protein, cargohydrate, and lipids was seen around the fissures and in a well-defined band around the sides of the tooth corresponding to the highest contour. These regions are the location of dense aggregates of bacteria as seen with scanning electron microscopy. This study emphasizes the fact that considerable attention should be given to the cleaning of not only the occlusal surfaces but also the highest contour of the tooth.

Histology of fissures in human unerupted teeth.

An investigation into the contents of the fissures of unerupted teeth was made using light and scanning electron microscopy techniques. For this study, 193 unerupted teeth were used. The presence of ameloblasts in the fissures was substantiated, and their role in forming the fissure is discussed.
