A technique utilizing sodium deoxycholate to remove junctional epithelial
cells from the epithelial attachment zone is described. Light and electron
micragrayhs show a simalarity in size and appearance between the extracetlutar
attachment substance in controls and the extracellular substance which remains on
cementurn previously in contact with junctional epithelium.
