Ex 1- Amelogenesis Flashcards
Enamel is a composite _______ mineral with apatite crystals oriented in a complex 3D pattern
biological
Amelogenesis occurs _______ dentinogenesis during the crown stage of odontogenesis
after
Although dentin must be present for enamel to form, it is also true that _________ must be present in order for dentinogenesis to occur
ameloblasts
_______ _____ occurs between epithelial cells of the enamel organ and mesenchymal cells of the dental papilla ie ameloblasts must be present for dentinogensis to occur
reciprocal induction
Unlike the other 3 mineralized tissues, enamel does not have an __________ preenamel phase
unmineralized
