Abstract:
The histological development of the teeth of mice homozygous for the osteopetrotic mutation microphthalmia (mi) in the mouse is described for the period 1-20 days post partum. The abnormalities described, including overall retardation, impaired root formation, encapsulation by bone and consequent non-eruption, are discussed and compared to the defects seen in the grey lethal (gl) mouse.
