Abstract
Our previous autoradiographic study using freeze-dried sections has shown that in the formation of rat incisal enamel the secretory ameloblasts extrude calcium to the capillary side to maintain the enamel at a low level of calcification, whereas in the maturation stage the ameloblasts control the entry of calcium and phosphate into the enamel by changing the tightness of intercellular junctions and/or their activities for ion transport.[1]
