Abstract
A method for decalcification end point determination of mineralized tissue is described. The calcium content of the decalcification solution was determined colorimetrically with a "continuous automatic analyzer" with a high degree of accuracy. The end point method used has been tested on two decalcification methods, 5% nitric acid with or without ultrasonic treatment. The results suggest it is possible to quantitate the decalcification process.
