Abstract

3H proline and 3H serine were injected intraperitoneally to rats which were killed 4 and 24 hours later. The incorporation of the labelled precursors was studied in the odontoblasts, predentine and dentine of the first lower molars. After radioautography, statistically significant differences in grain density appeared between the furcation, occlusal and lateral areas of the pulp chamber. The incorporation of predentine components into dentine was faster in the lateral than in the occlusal area, the slowest being detected in the furcation area. These differences may be related to the distribution of occlusal forces in the rat molar.
