Ja. Render et al., Proliferation of periodontal squamous epithelium in mink fed 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), VET HUM TOX, 42(2), 2000, pp. 85-86
The maxilla and mandible from 2 adult female mink fed 5.0 ppb 2,3.7,8-tetra
chlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) for 6 mo were grossly unremarkable, but histo
logically had nests of squamous epithelium within the periodontal ligament.
There was osteolysis of the adjacent alveolar bone.
