| Research Abstract |
To clarify the factor(s) in determination of bucco-lingual asymmetry against mesio-distal axis in morphological tooth development, we examined the spatial asymmetrical distribution pattern of intracellular Ca^<2+> concentration in the cells composed the tooth germ. Group of cells located in the mesial side of tooth germ had high intracellular Ca^<2+> concentration, compared with other areas in the tooth germ. Following stimulation of tooth germ with epithelial growth factor, transient increase in the intracellular Ca^<2+> concentration was observed in the group of cells located in the mesial side of tooth germ. The results indicate that, during tooth development, asymmetrical distribution high intracellular Ca^<2+> concentration in the group of cells via transient receptor potential (TRP) P2 (TRPP2) channels determines mesial side of tooth germ.
