title: Stereo-pair three-dimensional imaging of microvascular architecture in primate dental tissues.
abstract: The morphology of microvascular beds in dental tissues is poorly documented at the ultrastructural level. SEM stereo-pair imaging of microcorrosion casts reveals the markedly contrasting vascular architecture and capillary anastomoses within the nasopalatine foramen, soft palate and gingival regions of the marmoset. This primate was studied as an analogue for man to further our knowledge of periodontal anatomy and function.
