Abstract

The injury of dental pulp tissue, following caries, is accompanied by the deposit of a typical hard scar tissue known as reparative dentine which should be regarded as the mineralization of a new organic matrix. Highly purified antibodies were used in combination with immunoperoxidase or immunogold technique at the ultrastructural level to reveal the distribution and synthesis of types I and III collagen and fibronectin elaborated by typical matrix-forming cells in the new tissue. Specific immunoperoxidase labelling, on demineralized teeth, clearly demonstrated that type I collagen represents the main type of collagen (88%). It is associated with bundles of fine striated fibrils of type III collagen and in close vicinity with fibronectin and constituted, at least, the new organic matrix of reparative dentine. Immunogold staining gave precise localization mainly over Golgi apparatus for the 3 components, thus suggesting that the cells concerned should not be considered as new odontoblasts but rather as pulpal cells in the process of differentiation participating in the formation of new dentine. Moreover, these events are very similar to those observed during wound healing in other tissues.
