Abstract
A histochemical study of the developing tooth was undertaken with special reference to the localization of nucleic acid and alkaline phosphatase. Both ribonucleic acid and phosphatases begin to appear in the cytoplasm of the odontoblasts and ameloblasts as these cells differentiate. With the advent of calcification, ribonucleic acid and phosphatases are abundant in the cytoplasm of the functional odontoblasts and ameloblasts; this level is maintained during the elaboration of the calcifying tissues.Keywords
