Abstract The embryological, structural and functional unit of the dentine-pulp complex shares the odontoblast, located in the border of the dentine pulp, with basal nuclei and organelles. The odontoblast process
emerges from its apical pole. It is formed by microtubules, microfilaments and vesicles covered by membranes penetrating the dentinal tubules, isolated from the inter-tubular matrix, along the extent of the dentine.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of three staining techniques: hematoxylin-eosin,
periodic acid-Schiff and Schmorl, by staining the process, from beginning to end, and compare the results
with the erosion More >
