Developing Dentinoenamel Junction
This image closer to the cusp than the preceding one. Identify the purple staining enamel (A) over-lying the broader layer of pink staining dentin (B). Identify the columnar ameloblasts (C) adjacent to the enamel. Above the amelo-blasts lies the stratum intermedium (D). The stellate reticulum (E) forms a wedge-shaped layer between the stratum intermedium and the ODE (F). The ODE is condensing with the stellate reticulum and the stratum inter-medium on the extreme left side of the field. Numerous capillaries (G) lie adjacent to the outer surface of the ODE imparting a ragged appearance. The dentinoenamel junction (DEJ) is indicated by the asterisks (*). Identify the odontoblasts (H) layer on the periphery of the dental pulp (I).
