The development of the human interradicular dentine as revealed by tetracycline-labelling.
The pattern of labelling of the interradicular dentine that forms the floor of the pulp chamber was studied in human deciduous second mandibular molars from patients who had undergone treatment with tetracycline during the period of formation of those teeth. Six teeth exhibited isolated mineralization centres for the interradicular dentine, indicating that this region in man, unlike in rodents, does not develop as a direct continuation of coronal dentine.
