Mineralization in dental germs observed with modified Mallory's trichrome staining / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the dynamic process of the development of dentin and enamel during their mineralization period. Methods: Dental germs in maxillae and mandibulae were obtained from spontaneously aborted 21 weeks and 32 weeks fetus. The samples were prepared and stained with modified Mallory's trichrome staining and observed under light microscope. Results: Different mineralized layers in different period of development appeared different color variation in the dental germs. Conciusion Modified Mallory's trichrome staining method may be used to study the mineralization of dental germ.
