Abstract

A variety of encapsulated and free periodontal nerve endings have been described in extracted human teeth (Griffin and Harris, Australian DJ, 19:255-59, 1974; Harris and Griffin, Australian DJ, 19:174-81, 326-37, 1974), and in mouse molars with intact surrounding periodontium (Corpron et al., J Dent Res, 53-75, 1974; Avery et al., J Dent Res, 54:92, 1975; Corpron et at. J Dent Res, 57:B224, 1977).
