Abstract
An ultrastructural and vascular study of the gingival sulcus
wall was undertaken to achieve a better understanding of the
gingival sulcus in health and disease and the interrelationship
between gingival aulcus fluid and sulcus anatomy. In order
to substantiate the fact that tracers introduced by cardiac
puncture go in substantial amounts to the oral tissue, filtered
Pelikan ink (carbon suspension)was injected into our rabbits. The
oral tissues imnediately turned a bluish-black. A small exudate
of carbon could be seen cupping the incisors of the animals.
Histologlc sections of biopsies taken at 3 minutes post-injection
revealed blood vessels within the periodontal ligament and the pulp
filled with carbon particles. Using the same route of injection our
rabbits were then perfused with a 40% saccharated iron oxide solution.
Gingival tissue from the labial aspect of the maxillary incisors
was removed by incisional biopsy at 45 minutes and 60 minute
intervals. Standard electron microscopic fixation and preparation
was carried out. [TRUNCATED]
