Abstract
ATP-degrading enzyme activities in pulps ofhealthy and carious human teeth were quantitatively analyzed using the bioluminescence method. The patterns of both Ca2+- and Mg 2+-activated ATP hydrolysis resembled each other. Increased enzyme activities were observed during injured states.Keywords
