1. During the inductive stage, ameloblast differentiation from IEE is initiated. 2. As the ameloblasts degenerate, a gingival sulcus is created. 3. Each preameloblast elongate and becomes an postmitotic, polarized, secretory ameloblast . 4. In the secretory stage, ameloblasts are polarized columnar cells. 5. The enamel organ, including the dental papilla, and ameloblasts function similarly. 6. More than one ameloblast contributes to a single prism. 7. Unlike humans whose ameloblasts die after tooth development, rodents continually produce diastema region. 8. In the maturation stage, the ameloblasts transport substances used in the formation of enamel. 9. Ameloblasts make enamel at the location of where the cusps of the teeth are located.10. Most of the materials transported by ameloblasts in this stage are proteins used to complete mineralization.
