Recently, we have shown that, in rodent incisors, the crown- and root-analogue dentin (enamel- and cementum-related dentin) show differences in mineralization rates (Beertsen and Niehof, 1986) and composition of the organic matrices (Steinfort et al. , 1989). It was the aim of the present study to determine whether these differences were accompanied by differences in the inorganic components.

Rat incisors were analyzed by means of hardness measurements, microradiography, and the determination of Ca, Mg, and PO₄ content. The outer circumpulpal dentin layer of the enamel-related dentin (ERD) was considerably harder and denser than the comparable layer of the cementum-related dentin (CRD). Concomitantly, a higher Ca and P04 content was found for the ERD than for the CRD, while the reverse occurred with respect to Mg. From the apical end of the incisor toward the incisal edge, the Ca/PO₄ ratio tended to decrease for both ERD and CRD, while the Mg/PO₄ ratio increased. All differences appeared to be statistically significant.

It is concluded that differences in the non-collagenous organic matrix were accompanied by differences in the inorganic components. More specifically, a relatively high content of highly phosphorylated phosphoproteins (ERD) was associated with a higher Ca and a lower Mg content.
