N2 - During the course of a study on the morphology of periodontal ligament mechanoreceptors it was observed that a direct relation, without intervening bone, existed between the mandibular canine and first premolar tooth roots in the cat. An area, representing a window in the alveolar septal bone, extended 2-3 mm from the apex towards the tooth crown. Ruffini nerve terminals were observed amongst the collagen bundles in the ligament between the roots of the two teeth. Light and electron microscopy were used to identify the receptors. It is proposed that a periodontal ligament mechanoreceptor can respond to forces applied to adjacent teeth; movement of both teeth need not occur. This may explain the observation made in the past that single periodontal ligament mechanoreceptors respond to forces applied to more than one tooth.
