enamel prism , auch: enamel rod

It has small enamel prisms.

The enamel prisms are straight, small, and rounded and there is little material between the prisms.

In HSB, enamel prisms are arranged in layers of varying thickness at about right angles to each other.

The rows of small, round enamel prisms are separated by interprismatic matrix that forms crystalls oriented at right angles relative to the prisms.

The PI consists of Hunter-Schreger bands, which are uniserial (consisting of a single enamel prism), as in all myomorph rodents.

The enamel prisms of this tooth are small, like those of the premolar MACN Pv-RN 250.

The enamel is made up of small, round prisms (bundles of hydroxyapatite crystals) that are separated by large, continuous bands of interprismatic matrix (IPM; the material between the enamel prisms).

The microstructure of the tooth enamel is not clearly recognizable, evidently because the tooth is degraded, though structures resembling enamel prisms (bundles of hydroxyapatite crystalls) and Hunter-Schreger bands are recognizable.

They contain irregular structures of enamel prisms with disordered crystal arrangements basically formed by the abrupt bending of the prisms towards the root; usually, the prisms gradually bent back again to regain their previous orientation.

The body of the cell between the processes first deposits enamel, which will become the periphery of the enamel prisms,then the tomes process will infill the main body of the enamel prism.

The basic unit of enamel is called an enamel rod., Measuring 4-8 μm in diameter, an enamel rod, formally called an enamel prism, is a tightly packed mass of hydroxyapatite crystals in an organized pattern.
