The periodontal ligaments from traumatized deciduous teeth, while undergoing rapid resorption, were analyzed biochemically for mucopolysaccharidase activity and for total glycosaminoglycan content of dentin and cementum. Enzyme activity was present only in resorbing teeth. A concomitant 65 percent decrease in glycosaminoglycans from these teeth occurred as well.
