Summary

Proteoglycans (PGs) have been visualized in the predentine and dentine with cationic dyes by staining thin sections with Alcian Blue, bismuth nitrate, or using Spicer's high-iron diamine (HID) method. The precise location may be obtained by adding cationic dyes such as Cuprolinic Blue, ruthenium hexammine trichloride or cationic detergent (cetylpyridinium chloride) to the fixative. These methods induced the formation of aggregates which varied in shape and number according to the method used. Rapid freezing followed by freeze-substitution revealed an amorphous ground substance, homogeneously stained with Alcian Blue, located in the predentine between the collagen fibres. These PGs may be involved in transport and diffusion in predentine. In dentine, small granules and needle-like structures were observed along the collagen fibres. This second group of PGs differs in composition, distribution and functions from the predentine PGs. The same distribution was seen when hyaluronidase-gold labelling was used. Labelling with antibodies and autoradiography also gave evidence of two distinct groups of PGs. In predentine, as an hydrated gel, PGs seems to act as mineral inhibitors, whereas immobilized on a surface, as seen at the dentine edge, they act as nucleating agents. The interaction between PGs and phospholipids seems also to play a role in the mineralization process.
