[Vacuolisation of odontoblasts and regressive metamorphoses from viewpoint of pulp-dentin system function]

The authors, after presenting a critical definition of the problems dealt with in their present paper in addition to giving an evaluation there of from the point of view of a constant increase of knowledge, describe the biological functions of the cell with particular reference to the cell's vacuolar apparatus. They then characterize the pulpodentinal system, outlining the functional adaptation of the endodontal vascular apparatus in the light of intrascopic results, the clinical importance of which is discussed at length.
