Anatomy of the Enamel Organ
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 ameloblast layer
The enamel organ has many different components. These consist of:
The main cells of the enamel organ are:
