Na+ and K+ transport and maturation stage ameloblast modulation

Introduction: Enamel mineralization requires calcium transport into the extracellular matrix for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals. Formation of HA releases protons into the matrix, which are then neutralized when ameloblasts modulate from cells with apical invaginations, the so-called r...
