Item A comparative sem study of keratinized and non-keratinized oral mucosa of the vervet monkey(1981) Grossman, E. S.; Cleaton-Jones, P. E.Scanning electron microscopy has revealed that the surfaces of keratinized and non-keratinized oral epithelial cells have characteristic features which enable these tissue types to be readily distinguished. These features include pits, villus-like projections and ridge-like folds called microplications. The origin and functional significance of these structures is not known, although several hypotheses have been proposed. Microplications have been interpreted as a reserve area for cell stretching but further studies have yielded conflicting results. Cellular interdigitation resulting from the microplications may aid adhesion between the stratified epithelial cells. This view has been supported by subsequent investigations of superficial epithelial cells. The situation in the deeper cell layers is not entirely clear.Item The effect of frozen irradiated bone homografts on the healing of defects in the mandible and femur of the rat(1971) Cleaton-Jones, P. E.; Retief, D. H.; Maier, G.1. The effects of frozen irradiated homogenous bone grafts on the healing of circumscribed defects in the mandibles and femora of forty albino rats have been studied. 2. The grafts were well tolerated by the host animals and did not appear in any way either to stimulate or to inhibit osteogenesis. The rate of healing of the defects containing the homografts compared favourably with that of the control defects.Item Delayed passive eruption - A predisposing factor to Vincent's Infection?(1974) Volchansky, A.; Cleaton-Jones, P.
