At this magnification identify: pulp (A), odontoblasts (B), dentin (C), enamel space (D), dentinoenamel junction (E), protective ameloblast layer (F), adjacent epithelial cells of the reduced enamel epithelium (G), and the oral epithelium (H). The asterisk (*) indicates the region of fusion between these two epithelial membranes just prior to eruption of the tooth into the oral cavity.
