ABSTRACT
Collagen X is an extracellular matrix protein, usually found in the hypertrophic cartilage destined to be mineralized. It is intimately associated with the mineralization process of the mammalian hard tissues, and particularly, regulating the compartmentalization of matrix components. Despite the fact that the dentine of the tooth is highly mineralized, there are no previous reports to indicate the presence of collagen X in this connective tissue. Here we report, for the first time, its presence in mammalian dentine based on micromorphological and immunohistochemical data. We hypothesize that the collagen X in dentine may in the long term arrest the progression of the mineralization front towards the soft tissue components of the pulp that are not destined to be mineralized.
