Apoptotic cells formation. After treatment of rat molar with a glass ionomer, apoptosis is visualized using the TUNEL method. (a) The reaction occurs some distance away inside the mesial pulp horn of a maxillary molar. C = cavity. Apoptotic cells (AC) accumulate in the pulp. (b) Higher magnification of apoptotic cells. Apoptotic cell nuclei are fragmented. Bar = 100 μm.
