Abstract
The 4 pulpal esterases should be identified as individual enzymes, because of their differences in substrate specificity, electro-phoretic mobility, and inhibitor sensitivities. The identification of multiple esterases in the human dental pulp is important to the interpretation of the histochemical localization of esterases in tissue sections and in establishing a morphologic and functional role of these enzymes in pulp metabolism. The changes in the esterase pattern of rabbit molar pulps after resection of the inferior alveolar nerve are being studied.
