Item Intercellular junctions in the attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa in the vervet monkey (cercopithecus aethiops)(1979) Grossman, E. S.; Austin, J. C.; Cleaton-Jones, P.This study was undertaken to determine the distribution of hemidesmosomes on the basal cell membranes adjacent to the basement lamina and the spinous cell membranes on unloaded keratinized AG and non- keratinized AM.Item Ultrastructural features of exfoliating surface cells in keratinised and non-keratinised oral mucosa(1979) Austin, J. C.; Grossman, E. S.; Cleaton-Jones, P.Healthy keratinised and non-keratinised oral mucosa (attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa) were obtained from 6 adult vervet monkeys, fixed in situ by simultaneous perfusion and immersion fixation using cacodylate buffered 2,5% glutaraldehyde and prepared for examination by SEM and TEM.Item Relationship between fluoride concentration in enamel, DMFT Index, and degree of fluorosis in a community residing in an area with a high level of fluoride(1976) Bischoff, J. I.; Van Der Merwe, E. H. M.; Retief, D. H.; et al.The DMFT index, degree of fluorosis (DEGF), fluoride concentration in enamel (F), and depth of etch (D) were determined in participants living in an area with a high fluoride level. A statistically significant difference was found between men and women for F and D. A significant correlation was established between F and DEGF and between F and age for men, but not for women.Item Mitotic activity in the oral epithelium of the albino rat(1976) Cleaton-Jones, P.In groups of Wistar rats 3 and 12 months of age, colchicine and radioautography were used to assess mitotic activity in oral epitheliums. Apparent mitotic activity in the epitheliums of the cheek, hard palate, and central, intermediate, and lateral zones of the soft palate depended on the method used and the age of the rat.Item Radioautographic study of mesenchymal cell activity in the secondary palate of the rat(1976) Cleaton-Jones, P.Fifteen µCi of ³H-thymidine was injected into the amniotic cavity of fetal rats from day 15 to 19 postinsemination. Analysis of radioautographs from these rats did not show increased mesenchymal cell activity to be responsible for medial rotation of the palatal shelves. Variations in cell activity in the older fetuses were mainly due to developing bone and glands.Item The effect of mechanical loading on the clear cells of the oral epithelium(1979) Fleisch, L.Item A quantitative study of soft tissue specimen shrinkage during preparation for scanning electron microscopy(1975) Wilton-Cox, H.; Cleaton-Jones, P.Item The Oral Epidemiology Conference(1979) UnknownItem Anticipated changes in caries prevalence in South Africa(1979) Cleaton-Jones, P.; Richardson, B. D.; Walker, A. R. P.Item Rampant caries and labial caries - synonyms?(1977) Richardson, B. D.; Cleaton-Jones, P. E.
