PIGMENT FORMATION IN THE RAT'S INCISOR

EARL O. BUTCHER 1

1 Departments of Anatomy, College of Dentistry and the Graduate School of Arts and Science, New York University, New York, N. Y.

Ameloblasts in the unexposed gingival portion of the rat's incisor produce granular pigment. As the tooth moves distally, these granules accumulate into globules which are deposited in the outer fibrous enamel.

In animals given fluorine, the ameloblasts begin the formation of the pigment late in their existence and little pigment is formed. Some pigment is retained by the ameloblasts while some is deposited between the enamel epithelium and the enamel.
