Dental enamel is the most highly calcified tissue in mammals, and its formation is an issue of
fundamental biomedical importance. The enamel-forming cells must somehow supply …

The present paper evaluates the enamel growth tracks as tools in the chronological
mapping of dental development, with special reference to hominids. Dental enamel consists …

A method is presented which allows the average daily rate of enamel apposition to be
estimated based on measurements of the length of prisms in longitudinal ground sections …

Maxillary and mandibular incisors of mice aged 5 wk were sectioned and ground along
various planes, acidetched and observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The …

Background Tooth enamel is composed of highly mineralized rods surrounded by interrod
crystals that are formed by ameloblasts derived from dental epithelium. Secretory …

Background The synthesis, secretion, and fate of matrix proteins released by ameloblasts
during enamel formation was studied in continuously erupting rat incisors. Methods …

The pattern and timing of the breakdown and loss of matrix proteins were studied in
developing rat incisor enamel using sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel …

Male Wistar rats prelabeled with tetracycline to mark surfaces of bone and tooth formation-
mineralization were placed into orbit for 18.5 days aboard the Soviet COSMOS-1129 …

Background Biomolecular research and genetic manipulations have stressed the
importance of thorough knowledge of normal organ morphology. Mouse molar teeth are …

Dental enamel development occurs in stages. The ameloblast cell layer is adjacent to, and
is responsible for, enamel formation. When rodent pre-ameloblasts become tall columnar …
