Abstract
Dental pulp from the human premolar and continuously growing
incisor of the rat was isolated and prepared for electron microscopic
observation. This purely morphological investigation attempted to
review the ultrastructure characteristic of the pulp in a more unified
way than has been accomplished to date. Thus, instead of focusing on
one particular aspect of this connective tissue various elements were
delved into.
The rat pulp tissue afforded an excellent opportunity for the study
of collagen formation. In this respect the most probable pathways involved
in the synthesis and extracellular segregation of collagenous
precursors were discussed and examined in the light of this investigator's
findings. Other less likely routes were also given attention. [TRUNCATED]
