Hi Ian: The Boedecker's fluid (1937) is considered as very good for enamel. It consists of methanol (100 mL) + celloidin (6 mL) + nitric acid (4.5 mL) and it is reported to work well. Regards René J.

To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Date: Thursday, January 8, 2009, 7:11 AM I now find myself, after many years away, coming back to dental histology so need a bit of advice on current techniques. Ground sections, I still have the technique. Fully mineralized, embed in resin and section using a tungsten carbide knife. Deminerailized, here I'm not sure. I'm going back 30-40 years when I used formic acid but is there anything better that is recommended? Ian. Dr. Ian Montgomery, Histotechnology, I.B.L.S.
