...Yoshiro Takano; Saburou Matsuo; Satoshi Wakisaka; Hiroyuki Ichikawa; Shinji Nishikawa; Michio Akai The localization of calcium in the enamel organ of rapidly frozen, freeze-substituted rat incisors in early-stage amelogenesis was examined by a histochemical calcium-staining method. In secretory...

... as well as thin-section, tracer, and freeze-fracture replications were employed to study the maturation zone of rat-incisor enamel organ. The enamel-organ maturation zone was shown to have a well-developed, dense capillary plexus. The capillary vessels were distributed along furrows formed by the enamel...

...Harold Moe The capillary network of the enamel organ of the continuously growing mandibular incisor of the rat is supplied by a series of arteries which, after penetrating the bone, are disposed in a row in the periodontium along the tooth and linked together by anastomoses. The branches from...
