Histology of Normal Enamel. III. Phase Contrast Study

Abstract

SYNOPSIS IN INTERLINGUA

HISTOLOGIA DE ADAMANTE "NORMAL." III. STUDIOS A CONTRASTO DE PHASE.—Vinti-octo tenuissime molite sectiones longitudinal (5 a 7 micron) esseva examinate sub le microscopio a contrasto de phase. Le prismas esseva separate per un zona diffuse de color obscur representante un notabile modification del indice refractive. Isto suggestionava le occurrentia de un alteration in le elementos structural e/o in lor disposition. Le strias de Retzius monstrava alterationes simile a illos del striationes transverse. Le adamante superficial non monstrava marcation prismatic in omne casos. Le adamante cervical monstrava un variabilitate considerabile in le indice refractive. Le interpretation e le signification del constatationes es discutite, sed le conclusion es que un methodo debe esser trovate pro preparar sectiones sin le uso de adhesivos e de solventes.
