| الوصف: | Towards the middle of the eighteenth century, Tomes described the presence of membranous structures of cellular origin inside the dentinal tubules. Subsequent studies have been controversial regarding the terminal end of the odontoblasts. According to Fusayama, this cellular process reaches even the dentinal-enamel junction; others, such as Brännström, believed that this cellular process is present only in the inner third of the dentin. The aim of the present study was to determine the exact area up to which the terminal ends of the odontoblasts extend. With the aid of advanced confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) cylindrical structures were demonstrated inside the tubules even in the absence of odontoblasts. This would confirm that the structures previously described as cellular processes can be identified with the lamina limitans of the peritubular dentin. High resolution field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) provided further evidence that tubular structures are only seen in the inner third of the dentin, towards the pulp. |
