The is a condensation of
Ectomesenchymal Cells called
Odontoblast s, seen in
Histologic sections of a
Developing Tooth . It lies below a cellular aggregation known as the
Enamel Organ . The dental papilla appears after 8-10 weeks intra uteral life. The dental papilla gives rise to the
Dentin and
Pulp of a
Tooth .
The enamel organ, dental papilla, and
Dental Follicle together forms one unit, called the ''tooth germ''. This is of importance because all the tissues of a tooth and its supporting structures form from these distinct cellular aggregations.
