CORALLOS: LOR USO IN LE RECERCA DENTAL.—Es signalate pro le beneficio del biologo oral le possibilitate de utilisar certe corallos molle in le investigation del mechanismo de calcification. Tres membros del ordine Gorgonacea, specificamente Pseudoplexaura crucis, Eunicea calyculaia, e Gorgonia ventalina, esseva colligite in le Mar Caribe in le vicinitate de Mata de la Gata, al longo del costa sud-west de Puerto Rico. Es presentate un description macroscopic, le histologia, e simple factos del histochimia de iste corallos.
