  2. Enamel organ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_organ

    The enamel organ, also known as the dental organ, is a cellular aggregation seen in a developing tooth and it lies above the dental papilla. [1] The enamel organ which is differentiated from the primitive oral epithelium lining the stomodeum.

  3. Tooth enamel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_enamel

    Under a microscope, different cellular aggregations are identifiable within the tissues of a developing tooth, including structures known as the enamel organ, dental lamina, and dental papilla. [13] The generally recognized stages of tooth development are the bud stage, cap stage, bell stage, and crown, or calcification, stage.

  4. Human tooth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth

    It is organized into three parts: the enamel organ, the dental papilla and the dental follicle. [27] The enamel organ is composed of the outer enamel epithelium, inner enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum and stratum intermedium. [27] These cells give rise to ameloblasts, which produce enamel and the reduced enamel epithelium.

  5. Human tooth development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth_development

    Histologic slide showing a tooth bud. A: enamel organ B: dental papilla C: dental follicle. The tooth germ is an aggregation of cells that eventually forms a tooth. [2] These cells are derived from the ectoderm of the first pharyngeal arch and the ectomesenchyme of the neural crest.

  6. Dental anatomy - Wikipedia

    The tooth bud (sometimes called the tooth germ) is an aggregation of cells that eventually forms a tooth and is organized into three parts: the enamel organ, the dental papilla and the dental follicle. [3] The enamel organ is composed of the outer enamel epithelium, inner enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum and stratum intermedium. [3]

  7. Dental papilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_papilla

    The enamel organ → purely the epithelial component; The tissues which have been derived from each of the three components are: The dental follicle → will develop to become the periodontal ligament, the cementum and the alveolar bone; The dental papilla → will develop to become the dental pulp and the dentine; The enamel organ → will ...

  8. Cervical loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_loop

    The cervical loop is the location on an enamel organ in a developing tooth where the outer enamel epithelium and the inner enamel epithelium join. The cervical loop is a histologic term indicating a specific epithelial structure at the apical side of the tooth germ, consisting of loosely aggregated stellate reticulum in the center surrounded by ...

  9. Amelogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelogenesis

    Amelogenesis is the formation of enamel on teeth and begins when the crown is forming during the advanced bell stage of tooth development after dentinogenesis forms a first layer of dentin. Dentin must be present for enamel to be formed. Ameloblasts must also be present for dentinogenesis to continue.
