Q

According to Ten Cate’s Oral histology - Development, Structure and function, Describe the formation of rod and interrod enamel?

A

Proximal portion of tomes process secretes enamel around the periphery of the process, which creates a pit in which tomes process resides. This creates the interrod enamel, which is continuous with that produced by adjacent ameloblasts.

Tomes process elongates as more interrod enamel is laid down, and the distal portion of the process makes enamel with crystals oriented in a different direction. This makes the rod.

As the rod grows it squishes the tip of the process out of existence and the thin space where it last was becomes filled with organic material to become the rod sheath. The ameloblast continues retreating as more enamel is laid down.
