Abstract
From each of six teenage orthodontic patients
one healthy, functional maxillary first premolar was
surgically extracted, Ieaving biopsied buccal bone and
periodontal ligament attached to each root.
The intact specimens were processed for viewing
in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) . Horizontal
serial sections l μ m thick, for viewing in the light microscope
(LM), were taken from the apical through to the
cervical end of each specimen. Where vessels of any type
were seen in either periodontal ligament or alveolar bone,
silver sections of the same area and orientation were
mounted on grids and photographed in the TEM.
