Microscopic features of enamel
Across
- 2. cross section of the tooth, convex side faces the dentine and the concave side faces the enamel
- 3. partially calcified vertical sheets of enamel matrix that extends from the DEJ to the outer surface occlusal surface. They are narrower & longer than enamel tuft.
- 4. represent odontoblastic processes that crosses the basement membrane & into the enamel matrix & then trapped into the enamel matrix & becomes mineralized.
- 6. incremental lines
- 7. appear on the enamel surface are lost through wear.
- 8. trauma experienced by ameloblast during birth
Down
- 1. optical phenomenon produced by the changing in direction between adjacent groups of rods.
- 5. small dark brushes with their bases near DEJ, represent the area of hypo-mineralization. Formed due to abrupt changes in the rods direction.
