Summary When bovine dental pulp was removed from erupted and unerupted molars the odontoblasts remained attached to the predentin-dentin shell, from which the soft, partially calcified predentin layer was removed for lipid analysis. The phospholipid and fatty acid composition of phospholipids and neutral lipids were the same in undemineralized bovine predentin from both erupted and unerupted calf molars. The major phospholipids present were phosphatidylcholine (52–56% of the total phospholipids) and ethanolamine phosphoglycerides (22–23%). About 10% of the ethanolamine phosphoglycerides were plasmalogens. The major fatty acids observed were palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and arachidonic acids. The phospholipid composition of predentin was different from that of undemineralized dental pulp. Predentin contained a significantly higher percentage of phosphatidylserine and sphingomyelin than dental pulp. The fatty acid profiles of the individual phospholipids in the bovine predentin layer were also determined, and for the most part they were comparable to similar comparisons made for other tissues. Predentin sphingomyelin contained only about 6% of 24-carbon fatty acids, which is a relatively low amount compared to sphingomyelin in most other tissues. The fatty acid compositions of predentin neutral lipids and phospholipids were similar to the compositions of dental pulp lipids, but both types of predentin lipids contained more docosapolyenoic acids. The phospholipid and fatty acid compositions of predentin lipids were different from those in human and rat dentin which have been reported by others.
