ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF MATURE HUMAN ENAMEL

DAVID B. SCOTT 1, MARIE J. USSING 1, REIDAR F. SOGNNAES 1, and RALPH W. G. WYCKOFF 1

Methods are described for making replicas of the etched surfaces of ground sections through enamel, and thin sections of demineralized enamel. The principal organic structures observed under the electron microscope in both types of preparation have been the prism sheaths and a submicroscopic fibrillar network within and between the prisms. The inorganic portion of the enamel, as represented in replicas, has shown a uniformly granular texture, and thus far it has not been possible to demonstrate the outlines of the individual crystals.
