[Histonet] canine teeth

[Perry, Margaret]

Hi
I was given blocks today of a canine tooth that had been decaled for 8 days.  We processed it on our regular overnight program.   It was too hard to cut and popped out of the paraffin.  The biopsy trim sheet did not indicate it was a tooth so I put the pieces in ammonium hydroxide for 10 min.  It didn't help.  Do you have any suggestion on how I can save this tissue?
