1. ameloblast

   An ameloblast is a type of cell that is involved in the process of tooth enamel formation during tooth development. They deposit enamel matrix proteins and control the mineralization process. The cells are part of the outer surface of the dental pulp, and their differentiation and function are central in tooth morphogenesis. Once the tooth enamel is formed, these cells are degraded and cannot regenerate.

1. Ameloblast

   Ameloblasts are cells, present only during tooth development, that deposit tooth enamel, the hard outermost layer of the tooth that forms the chewing surface. Ameloblasts are cells which secrete the enamel proteins enamelin and amelogenin which will later mineralize to form enamel on teeth, the hardest substance in the human body. Each ameloblast is approximately 4 micrometers in diameter, 40 micrometers in length and has a hexagonal cross section. The secretory end of the ameloblast ends in a six-sided pyramid-like projection known as the Tomes' process. The angulation of the Tomes' process is significant in the orientation of enamel rods. Ameloblasts are derived from oral epithelium tissue of ectodermal origin. Their differentiation from preameloblasts is a result of signaling from the ectomesenchymal cells of the dental papilla. The ameloblasts will only become fully functional after the first layer of dentine has been formed by odontoblasts. Ameloblasts control ionic and organic compositions of enamel. They adjust their secretory and resorptive activities to maintain favorable conditions for biomineralization. The murine ALC cell line is of ameloblastic origin.
