In which stage of amelogenesis does resoprtion of basal lamina of
inner enamel epithelium occur
Presecretory stage. During histodifferentiation. 
In which stage of amelogenesis 
does initial layer of aprismatic enamel forms
Secretory stage. This event marks the start of secretory stage
In which stage of amelogenesis does, ameloblast dies?
In late secretory stage and the transition stage where
morphologically most of ameloblasts shorten while 50% of them die
In which stage of amelogenesis does vascular invagination of enamel
organ occur
In transition stage
In which stage of amelogenesis does the basal lamina of ameloblast
reformed
In transition stage
In which stage of amelogenesis does matrix secretion ceases
In transition stage
In which stage of amelogenesis 
does selective matrix withdrawal or resorption occur
In transition stage
In which stage of amelogenesis does cycling of ruffled and smooth
bordered ameloblast occur
in maturation stage
In which stage of amelogenesis does the full width of immature enamel
matrix is laid down
In transition stage
In which stage of amelogenesis does the rough bordered ameloblast
turn smooth
in maturation stage
How long does the maturation stage of enamel lasts
three to four years
The dimension of differentiated ameloblast is
60 micrometer in height and 2-4 micrometers in width
Odontoblast differentiation is mediated by inner enamel epithelium
through
transforming growth factor – beta
The pre-ameloblasts releases enzyme by
exocytosis
The non-collagenous protein of odontoblast that mediates
epithelium-mesenchymal interaction is
Dentin sialophosphoprotein
In aprismatic enamel near DEJ, the enamel crystallites are arranged
in random orientation
In aprismatic enamel at peripery [outer surface of crown] , the
enamel crystallites are arranged
uniformly parallel to each other
The shape of the Tomes process is responsible for
prismatic architechture of enamel
Each enamel prism is formed by
single ameloblast but four contribute to the interprismatic substance
The mineralizing front of enamel is observed under electron
microscopy as
honeycomb pattern
Ameloblasts are joined to each other by
terminal bar apparatus distally at the base of the Tome’s process
The juntion of terminal web apparatus of ameloblsts is
Zonular in nature
Cell junction at basal end of ameloblasts [near to st.intermedium]
Macular in nature
The prism boundaries of enamel
are formed first giving the deveeloping enamel front a pit-like
surface appearance
Initiation of mineralization of enamel is mediated by
Dentin sialophosphoprotein
Ameloblastin determines
the prismatic pattern
Enamel crystallite growth  and
nucleation of enamel are controlled by
Tuftlin
Within the enamel prism, the amelogenin are located in the
center of the prism. Non-amelogenins in periphery of the prisms.
Number of rows of ameloblasts that are generated each week at cervical
loop is
seven
The transcription factor responsible for regulating cell destiny is
Egr-1
The gene product that is localized to enamel knot is
Msx-2
The regulator of enamel morphogenesis is
Msx-2
The commonest site of enamel pearl formation is
near furcation region in root, nearer to the cervical region
