Comparative enzyme histochemical studies on the development of teeth in man and mouse

The distribution of succinate dehydrogenase in the odontogenic tissues in the Mongolian gerbil, ranging in age from 18 days prenatal to 8 days postnatal, was studied. Activity levels were designated negative, trace, slight, moderate, strong and very, dependent upon visual observations. The results indicated increased levels of activity as the tissue layers differentiated from the lamina stage through early apposition. The cell layer displaying the most succinate dehydrogenase activity was the ameloblastic layer while the stratum intermedium layer was the next most active cell layer. Succinate dehydrogenase activity appeared to be related to the degree of differentiation and functional competency of the odontogenic tissues in the Mongolian gerbil.
