Abstract
A number of studies have been made of scorbutic changes noted in the dental pulp of the guinea pig incisor. Vascular fragility and hemorrhage are among the findings observed in many of these same studies. Fifty-eight guinea pigs were selected to study the facilitated visualization of vascular hemorrhage offered by perfusion of the pulpal vessels of both control and scorbutically induced experimental animals with a carbon black suspension of 200-500 Angstrom particle size. Perfusion of the pulpal vascular system of the guinea pig is feasible and practical by the technique outlined in this paper. Suggestion of vascular fragility is noted by the appearance of the carbon black medium in perivascular areas of the dental pulp.
