ABSTRACT
Two fixation fluids, two fixation techniques and two embedding methods were investigated for their effects on the quality of sections of teeth for pulpal response to filling materials to improve evaluation of pulpal responses. Sections from 32 baboon teeth were prepared, half with experimental cavities and half without, using either 10% formaldehyde or 4% glutaraldehyde, longitudinal tooth splitting or removal of the tooth apex, and paraffin or K plast resin embedding; decalcification in a formic acid mixture was a constant throughout. Histometric analysis showed that paraffin embedding produced less shrinkage than the K Plast resin embedding although the difference was not statistically significant. Six parameters of separation at the pulpdentine interface were studied embedding, fixative, presence or absence of a cavity, cutting technique and individual animal tooth type. Statistical investigation revealed that fixative, cutting technique, and fixative and cutting technique combined had significant influences on the separation artifact. Of the combinations tested the choice of embedding method depends on which of the two artifacts, shrinkage or separation, is more adverse in the opinion of the investigator. Four percent glutaraldehyde together with the longitudinal split technique of fixation, processed by either K Plast resin embedding or paraffin embedding produced satisfactory pulpal sections.
