A modified technique for perfusing blood vessels in pulps of extracted teeth.
The distribution of blood vessels in pulp tissue can be studied through the use of perfusion techniques on freshly extracted teeth. A procedure for the perfusion of extracted human and monkey teeth in vitro is described. As the process is not histologic in nature, a method of identifying the observed vessels is suggested.
