Q

What are the stages in the formation of enamel and dentine?

A

Cells of the dental papilla adjacent to the IEE differentiate into odontoblasts
Odontoblasts secrete dentine matrix which is later mineralised
Predentine formation causes cells of the IEE to elongate and differentiate into ameloblasts
Ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix (30% min)
Organic component removed and mineralisation occurs
