Abstract
Plastination as a means of preserving human biological tissues indefinitely, involves the use of reagents and polymers (S10, E12 and P40 ), with physical methods as vacuum, cold temperatures and photo polymerization. Invented over 30 years ago by the German pathologist Gunther von Hagens, plastination methods can be used successfully in over six areas of medicine and other specialties such as archeology or anthropology. The used of plastination of the oral tissues is directed towards the teaching and scientific research that implies microscopy and optical coherence tomography.
