| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The analysis of dental lamina helps to clear the early stage of dental formation. That analysis contributes to not only establishment of the artificial tooth germ (e.g.; cell source, culture period and safety), but also clarification of the etiology of supernumerary tooth, odontoma and odontogenic tumors.
But the behavior of the dental lamina remains largely unclear due to the difficulty to mimic the procedure. Thus it is extensively necessary to establish the experimental model for the early stage of dental formation. To understand the variety of events of dental lamina during early stage of dental formation, further investigation is needed and our organ culture is essential to develop the experimental model.
