[Embedding in methacrylate for the histologic study of decalcified and non-decalcified preparations of teeth with their surrounding periodontium].

Methacrylate embedding was suggested for improving the histologic examination of teeth with surrounding alveolodental ligament, including large sections of the jaw bone. The method introduced here makes it possible to prepare sections of decalcified as well as undecalcified material which, for the most part, are free of artefacts.
