By energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX) in scanning electron microscopy, we studied the calcification of the inner-basic lamellas of a cow bone and the coronal cementum of a horse tooth treated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). These tissues were divided into 4 groups with a combination of NaOCl treatment and polyester-resin embedding including, [A]: non-NaOCl + Resin, [B]: non-NaOCl + non-resin, [C]: NaOCl + Resin, and [D]: NaOCl + non-Resin. From the Ca and P values by EDX analysis, it was suggested that the natural porous spaces of [B] were higher than those of [A], and both the natural and NaOCl-soluble porous spaces were highest in [D]. However, [A] had the lowest porous spaces in both the tissues because the micropores formed 3-dimensionally by NaOCl treatment might be incompletely filled with the resin. The backscattered electron microscopy and the difference of the Ca/P ratios indicated that the NaOCl treatment of the calcified tissues caused some minerals besides organic materials to dissolve. Thus, the sample preparation of [B] is suitable for the quantitative EDX of calcified tissues, whereas the data of [C] except for the Ca/P ratio may be used to approximate the Ca and P contents.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008663	Metacarpus	The region of the HAND between the WRIST and the FINGERS.
D008855	Microscopy, Electron, Scanning	Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D002118	Calcium	A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D003739	Dental Cementum	The bonelike rigid connective tissue covering the root of a tooth from the cementoenamel junction to the apex and lining the apex of the root canal, also assisting in tooth support by serving as attachment structures for the periodontal ligament.

D004577	Electron Probe Microanalysis	Identification and measurement of ELEMENTS and their location based on the fact that X-RAYS emitted by an element excited by an electron beam have a wavelength characteristic of that element and an intensity related to its concentration. It is performed with an electron microscope fitted with an x-ray spectrometer, in scanning or transmission mode.

D006736	Horses	Large, hoofed mammals of the family EQUIDAE. Horses are active day and night with most of the day spent seeking and consuming food. Feeding peaks occur in the early morning and late afternoon, and there are several daily periods of rest.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001641	Bicuspid	One of the eight permanent teeth, two on either side in each jaw, between the canines (CUSPID) and the molars (MOLAR), serving for grinding and crushing food. The upper have two cusps (bicuspid) but the lower have one to three. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p822)	Premolar,Bicuspids,Premolars
