title = "Differentiation of ameloblasts and its regulation by epithelial-mesenchymal interactions",
abstract = "Ameloblasts are highly specialized epithelial cells that are the only cells capable of producing enamel. Uniquely, they are epithelial cells that secrete a mineralizing extracellular matrix. All other cells that produce mineralizing matrices in the body, the osteoblasts (bone), odontoblasts (dentine), and cementoblasts (cementum) are mesenchymal in origin. Another unique feature is that when the tooth erupts and the ameloblasts have fulfilled their task, they die. Hence, unlike bone, dentine, and cementum, enamel cannot be repaired by de novo tissue formation. {\textcopyright} 1995 by CRC Press, Inc.",
