| Description | The upper first molars of adult male rats were moved for 7 days and unfixed, undecalcified frozen sections of the molar periodontal ligament were prepared and observed. The upper jaws of the rats were immersed rapidly in liquid nitrogen and sectioned with a cryostat using a super hard knife. Five micrometer serial sections were cut, collected, freeze-dried and observed with both light and scanning electron microscopy. Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) was also performed on the sections. On the tension side of the periodontal ligament, periodontal fibers were stretched and the osteoblasts were aligned on the osteoid, which showed metachro-masia with the toluidine blue stain. On the pressure side where the periodontal ligament was extremely compressed, tissue degeneration was caused by tooth movement and the osteoclasts were observed on the bone surface adjacent to the degenerating tissues. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a network arrangement of the collagen fiber bundles on the tension side, but not on the pressure side of the periodontal ligament. The spectrum obtained from EPMA of the osteoid demonstrated X-ray (Ka) peaks of Na, P, S, K and Ca. |
