A histochemical technique has been used to demonstrate myosin and myosinlike substances in muscle, endothelium, cilia, and myoepithelial cells. When this technique was applied to human dental pulp, similar nzyosinlike substances were demonstrated in smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, endothelium, and odontoblastic processes.
