[The characteristics of the phospholipid composition of the pulp in the milk teeth].

Qualitative and quantitative phospholipid composition of porcine deciduous teeth pulp was studied by microthin-layer chromatography. Basing on the differences in the levels of individual phospholipids in the pulp of deciduous and permanent teeth, the authors come to a conclusion on the inadequate structural organization and functional activity of the pulp of deciduous teeth.

[Lipid composition and characteristics of dental pulp ultrastructure at different stages of development].

The phospholipid composition and ultrastructure of pulp are found to be qualitatively different at different stages of ontogenetic development (in the first and permanent dentition). An intensified functional load (with higher dental abrasion) prevents completion of the differentiation of cellular and noncellular elements of pulp even in permanent teeth.
