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.
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.
