Selected passages

“The purpose of this paper is to show the location of the zone of disintegrating epithelial attachment cuticle, the cemento-enamel junction (cej), and the outer border of the periodontal fibers (pi) on a number of selected tooth specimens.”

“As the breaking down and removal of the periodontal fibers progresses further, the epithelial attachment grows farther apexward over the cementum from which the fibers have been removed.’

“The explanation of "continuous passive eruption" as a physiological process is questioned.”

"A Clean Tooth Does Not Decay, nor does periodontoclasia occur about a clean tooth." C. C. Bass, M.D.
