[Light microscope study of human dental morphogenesis].

Abstract

Human teeth morphogenesis was studied by optical microscopy from the 10th to 20th week of fetal life. Enamel, dentin and pulp development were analyzed. An important observation on mandibu teeth arises from this investigation that consists in a biforcation of mandibular ossification in two branches, this could allow to the teeth to develop inside the mandibular arch.
