Intentional replantation of teeth appears to be a suitable model for examining the etiology and pathogenesis of root resorption elicited after traumatic dental injury. A histomorphometric analysis of root resorption developed with this model is described. An analysis of the accuracy and precision of the method in replanted monkey incisors has demonstrated that the method is usually reliable in revealing the extent and type of root resorption. In some experimental circumstances, however, where the pulp status was not controlled by endodontic therapy, a large intra‐ and interanimal variation was found in the extent of root resorption. Apart from a relation to tooth maturation and tooth type (incisors versus molars), this variation was primarily caused by haphazard occurrence and extent of inflammatory resorption. Based on an analysis of a series of experimental replantation studies, the following guidelines for experimental design seem appropriate: 1) selection of teeth according to identical tooth development and pulp status (i.e. intact, extirpated or root‐canal‐treated); 2) use of a standardized extraction procedure; 3) consideration of the type of teeth included (i.e. molars vs. incisors), unless paired experiments are planned or the experimental design includes an equal number of incisors and molars allotted to the different experimental groups; 4) side differences (right vs. left side) are apparently of no or minor importance; 5) sex differences are apparently of no or minor importance; 6) an individual proneness to resorption is apparently of no or minor importance, which means that more than one tooth can be used in each animal. The experimental design thus does not dictate the use of paired (i.e. homologous) teeth. However, as a matter of safety, when small differences in healing are expected, paired observations should be used.

In seven monkeys (6 Macaca fascicularis, 1 M. mulatta; 2.4 +/- 0.6 kg in weight) the labial and buccal mucosae were studied morphologically and quantitatively. Following fixation by perfusion, the upper and lower lips and entire cheeks were dissected free and processed for light-, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Established programs (HISTOMEP, MUMANA II) and appropriate morphometric techniques were used to estimate, at the light-microscopic level, the epithelial thickness, the width of the combined lamina propria/submucosa, and the volumetric composition of the gland-containing portions of lip and cheek mucosae. The cheek epithelium was more than twofold thicker than the lip epithelium, on the average 0.46 +/- 0.04 and 0.21 +/- 0.02 mm, respectively, with no differences related to sex or topographical sites. The combined lamina propria/submucosa was 1.32 +/- 0.19 and 1.50 +/- 0.26 mm in width in cheeks and lips, respectively. The main mucosal constituents at both sites were glandular and connective tissue, and lymph follicles associated with secretory ducts. In lips, the volume of plasma cells around gland acini correlated positively with the amount of lymphoid tissue present around topographically related ducts. It is suggested that the duct/lymph follicle assembly may serve as a local antigen-recognition system.
