    The document discusses the epithelial enamel organ and life cycle of ameloblasts during enamel formation. The epithelial enamel organ contains the outer enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum, stratum intermedium, and inner enamel epithelium. The life cycle of ameloblasts progresses through 6 stages - morphogenic, organizing, formative, maturative, protective, and desmolytic - with the morphogenic stage characterized by short columnar cells and organelles located at the proximal end, and the organizing stage involving cell lengthening and reversal of organelle polarity towards the distal end.

    Morphogenic Stage

    • Cell Short Columnar


    • Large oval nucleus

    • Golgi apparatus and


    mitochondria are
    located at
    proximal end
    Prof. Shaleen Chandra
    Organizing Stage
    • Cells become Longer
    • Reversal of Polarity occurs by
    migration of Golgi apparatus and
    centrioles to distal parts of the cell.
    • Nuclei shifts to the Proximal part of
    the cell.
    • Amount of Rough E. R. increases
    • Basal lamina supporting ameloblasts
    disintegrates after dentin formation
    • change in nutritional supply of
    ameloblasts occurs
