Dental school to study "worm-like" cylindrical structures in dentinal Tubules using X-ray detection

The University of Maryland Dental School is utilizing Thermo Scientific EDS detectors to further investigate the long-debated nature of "worm-like" cylindrical structures observed in the dentinal tubules of extracted human teeth.

Utilization of the EDS detectors has made it possible to use scanning electron microscopy technology to obtain clear micro-images of the
challenging structures, shedding new light on their chemical nature.

The findings of this breakthrough research will be unveiled in a presentation titled "Scanning Electron Microscopic Study of Cylindrical Structures Observed in Dentinal Tubules: The Controversy Continues", at the 17th International Microscopy Congress (IMC17), September 19-24 2010, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
