title: [Possibilities of in vivo identification of various types of fissures in human teeth].
abstract: In consideration of the fact that the results from the visual appreciation of the fissures in freshly extracted teeth agree with the findings from thin sections of the same teeth, the authors developed a stereomicroscopic method for assessing in vivo the occlusal surfaces of human teeth. The great percentage of accurate assessments of wide fissures obtained with this method permits to recommend it. Narrow fissures may be ascertained by exclusion.
