| dental lamina |
The dental lamina is a band of epithelial tissue seen in histologic sections of a developing tooth. Best described as an ingrowth of ectomesenchyme tissue, the dental lamina is frequently distinguished from the vestibular lamina, which develops concurrently. When it is present, the dental lamina conects the developing tooth bud to the epithelium of the oral cavity. Eventually, the dental lamina disintigrates into small clusters of epithelium and is resorbed. ...

| dental enamel |
Tooth enamel is the most highly mineralized and hardest substance of the body . Among enamel, dentin, and cementum, enamel is the dental tissue of a tooth which usually is visible in the mouth and must be supported by underlying dentin. Minerals compose 96% of enamel, with the rest being water and organic material . Since enamel is semi-translucent, the color of dentin and any restorative dental material underneath the enamel highly affects the outer appearance of the tooth. ...

| dental fluorosis |
Dental fluorosis occurs during tooth development especially between the ages of 6 months to 5 years, from the overexposure to fluoride. Teeth are generally composed of hydroxyapatite and carbonated hydroxyapatite when fluoride is present Fluorapatite is created. In high concentrations fluoride can cause yellowing of teeth, white spot, and pitting or mottled of enamel, consequently the teeth look unsightly. Fluorosis can not occur once the tooth has erupted in to the oral cavity. ...
