A Histological Study on the Nature of Human Interglobular Dentin

Abstract

Using the modified Bielschowsky-Nagahama staining techniqe, I have hither to shown the enamel spindles, enamel lamellae, enamel tufts and the granular layers consiat of nothing else than the extention fibers, and here report new finding on the nature of interglobular dentin, When stained heavily with silver nitrate, interglobular dntin appears black, and around it there can be seen many fine fibers, these fine fibers are of course branches of dentinal fibers, and can be so by appropriate staining. From this it appears that the interglobular dentin consists of a mass of fine branches of dentinal fibers, and among the fine branches can be seen
