Microperoxidase (MP, a peptide tracer) was intravenously injected into rats after six days of tooth movement by the Waldo method. Bone resorption was seen along the distal bone surface of the inter-radicular septum of the upper first molar, and tooth root resorption occurred along the mesial and distal surfaces of the distal root of the same molar. Odontoclasts were smaller in size and numbers than osteoclasts, but had the same organelles [multiple nuclei, ruffled borders (RB), clear zones, vacuoles, mitochondria, and specific granules] as osteoclasts. MP was deposited on the resorbed area through the clear zone and was transported into the vacuoles along the channels of the RB. The uptake of MP by odontoclasts was small, compared with that by osteoclasts. Collagen fibrils were found in the channels of the RB but were not detected in the vacuoles. Instead, filament-like structures were seen in the vacuoles and were located very near the collagen fibrils in the channels. Fibroblasts outside the resorbed lacunae had endocytosed collagen. In contrast, some cells close to odontoclasts (osteoclasts) in the dentin (bone)-resorbed lacunae had not endocytosed any collagen fibrils. These findings suggest (1) that odontoclasts resorb the dentin or cementum just as osteoclasts do in bone resorption, (2) that the resorbed area connects with the extracellular spaces of the odontoclasts or osteoclasts, and (3) that the organic components (e.g., collagen fibrils) of dentin or cementum are endocytosed through the channels of the RB in the same manner as that for MP. However, the endocytotic ability of odontoclasts appears inferior to that of osteoclasts.
