Abstract
We investigated the localization of chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate proteoglycans in the dental pulp and dentin of rats, using a combination of an immunohistochemical technique coupled with specific enzymatic digestion. Chondroitin 4-sulfate and dermatan sulfate were found to be widespread in pulpal connective tissue, predentin and dentinal tubules. The response to predentin was found to be particularly strong. Chondroitin 6-sulfate was stretched in pulpal connective tissue and predentin, but showed only a weak response.
