Résumé : A histochemical study of the tooth germs of mice has demonstrated the precise sites of succinic dehydrogenase and of an enzyme dephosphorylating adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate and adenosine monophosphate. The two enzymes are present in the odontoblast and subodontoblastic layers of the pulp and in the inner cellular layer of the enamel organ; their cytoplasmic localization is quite similar. The intensity of the reactions brought about by the enzymes continues to increase during the development of the tooth germs and reaches a maximum when mineralization takes place. Their participation in the processes of mineralization can be regarded as a system for draining phosphate ions to the dentine and to the enamel. © 1963.
