Julia,
Don't forget duplicates. If possible, having some teeth sectioned and
processed in a different sterile lab (preferably a different site
altogether) by a different person using different equipment, would be a
good contamination sanity check. Have them separated as early in the
pipeline as possible.
Good luck,
Susannah
