Abstract
The turnover of collagen in the dental pulp was studied using H3-proline and micro chemical techniques. The incorporation of label into the whole tissue was very high, with most of the label being incorporated into the noncollagenous substances. The rate of disappearance of label from collagen approximated the disappearance of label from noncollagenous components, suggesting that the whole pulp was undergoing rapid remodeling. There seems to be more than one metabolic pool of collagen.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
