Histological analysis of the lower incisor teeth.

(A) Diagrammatic representation of the mouse lower incisor tooth within the mandible. As indicated in black, enamel production commences at the apical region of the tooth and proceeds towards the incisal edge.

(B–E) The secretory, transition, maturation and post-maturation stages of amelogenesis showed characteristically normal morphology in the WT lower incisor tooth.
