title: Proliferation of periodontal squamous epithelium in mink fed 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD).
abstract: The maxilla and mandible from 2 adult female mink fed 5.0 ppb 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) for 6 mo were grossly unremarkable, but histologically had nests of squamous epithelium within the periodontal ligament. There was osteolysis of the adjacent alveolar bone.
