Abstract
Chemical analysis and the appearance of developing enamel from deciduous bovine incisors have distinguished four stages during the process of development: (1) secretion of soft, translucent, partially mineralised enamel; (2) withdrawal of matrix from the soft enamel; (3) secondary mineralisation of the increasingly rigid enamel; (4) emergence of hard, translucent, mature tissue.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
