A 3-D Model of Enamel Development at the Scale of One Inch to the Micron

A greatly enlarged physical model of the interface between ameloblasts and enamel facilitates the discussion of factors which might be involved in the control of the development of crystal orientation patterns and the prisms (or rods) in dental enamel. The model specifically relates to the most common circumstances in human enamel development. The 3-D concepts grasped from the developmental model help to explain the fracture mechanics of the adult tissue.
