What is Enamel Knot and Cord Functions Explained about?
The enamel knot and enamel cord are structures that appear during tooth development. The enamel knot is a cluster of cells in the inner enamel epithelium that regulates tooth shape and cusp development. It exists as a primary knot, which signals the proliferation of the dental papilla, and secondary knots in molar teeth, which initiate crown shape development. The enamel cord connects the enamel knot to the outer dental epithelium and may aid the enamel knot, though its exact function is unknown.
