AB  - Heads of 11-15-day-old mouse embryos were cut in frontal serial sections. Early development of the maxillary incisor was analyzed using series of thick (5 and 7 microns) and semi-thin (1 micron) frontal sections and computer assisted 3-D-reconstructions of the epithelial component. The enamel organ of the mouse maxillary incisor was found to be a complex structure of multiple origin, involving several epithelial anlagen--primary dental laminae--, which could hypothetically correspond to the 5 upper incisors of early mammals. The transitory existence of at once distinct and then fusing dental primordia could reflect heterochronic changes in ontogeny which might be related to phyletic trends.
