The main components which form the enamel organ are:
*Outer epithelium
*Stellate reticulum- star shaped cells lying between the outer and inner epithelial layers. It has the appearance of connective tissue but is of epithelial derivation
*Inner epithelium which becomes the enamel secreting [[Ameloblasts|ameloblast]] layer
*The enamel organ has many different components. These consist of:
**[[Crown|Crown]]
**[[Root - Anatomy & Physiology|Root]]
**[[Alveolar Bone|Alveolar bone]]
**[[Lamina dura - Anatomy & Physiology|Lamina dura]]
**[[Enamel|Enamel]]
