Abstract:
:It might have been recognized that surface prismless enamel with no prism sheaths or boundaries is formed by needle-shaped crystals in parallel arrangements and shows almost the same crystal size as the underlying prismatic enamel. This study found that some island- and band-shaped prismless enamel in third molars and dome-shaped prismless areas in the region adjacent to the partial hypoplastic enamel of a premolar were formed by minute crystals compared with the underlying prismatic enamel when observing afibrillar cementum and cementicle-like structures by scanning electron microscopy. Their minute crystals became smaller in size towards the natural enamel surface. In the band- and dome-shaped prismless enamel, the minute crystals abruptly changed to the usual-sized crystals in the underlying prismatic enamel, although the minute crystals in the dome-shaped prismless areas tended to show random arrangements. The band-shaped prismless layers might be similar to afibrillar cementum, but shallow Tomes' process pits were present in the natural surface and no appositional laminations were observed in the fractured surface. The minute crystal formation in such prismless regions might be caused by the remarkable decline of ameloblast activity immediately after the disappearance of Tomes' processes producing prism structures surrounded by prism sheaths during the final stage of amelogenesis.
