A histological investigations of isografts of immature mouse molars to an intrabony and extrabony site.
Partially-developed teeth with remnants of their periodontal ligaments isografted to the tibial shaft medulla and renal subcapsular site were capable of progressive regeneration characterized by renewed tubular dentine formation. Bone formation occurred in relation to grafts at the renal site as well as the tibial shaft; evidence of periodontal fibre reorganization was observed in grafts at both sites. Despite post-transplantation dentine and cementum formation, continued development of roots of normal morphology did not occur, perhaps due to disappearance of epithelial root sheath.
