The dentinal tubule and odontoblast process in the cat.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The odontoblast process and dentinal tubule of the cat have been examined after vascular perfusion of aldehydes for periods of 20-60 minutes. The odontoblast process is apparently confined to the inner half of a dentinal tubule. Its structure consists of microtubules, microfilaments and a variable population of vesicles, all surrounded by a plasma membrane. The apparent limited peripheral extent of the process is perhaps an artefact due to incomplete penetration of the fixatives.
