An investigation of the changes taking place in the enamel and the enamel organ during enamel development has been carried out by analyzing small samples of tissue dissected from developing incisors of rat and bovine incisors. Observations showed that the synthesis of the enamel matrix and its subsequent loss were associated chiefly with a change in the major matrix components. This consisted of a selective loss of amelogenin components prior to secondary mineralization. Before this loss, some increase in the proportion of smaller molecular weight components suggested the possibility of limited breakdown. Even at the earliest stages examined, significant concentration of mineral ions was present. This increased steeply after most of the organic matrix had been removed. The Ca/P ratio of this mineral was constant throughout development. The concentration of minor inorganic ions (F, Mg and CO3) decreased as the tissue developed and a tendency was observed for certain ions (F, 32PO4) to penetrate and concentrate in the enamel, apparently as a consequence of the lost matrix being replaced by water, just prior to the steep increase in mineral content of the tissue.
