Naturally, the develop- ment of human teeth has been especially care- fully studied. A brief account of it may well serve the present purpose. When the human embryo has attained a length of about 11 mm.—that is, by the end of the sixth week of development—the ecto- dermal epithelium covering the jaws grows rapidly into the underlying connective tissue to form adental ridge or lamina extending parallel to the edge of each jaw. The lamina is formed by multiplication of cells in the deep- est layer (stratum germinativum) of the ectodermal epithelium which is continuous with the external epidermis (Fig. 35). As growth continues, the deep edge of the lamina (labial) lamina and an inner (lingual) lamina. 0, Fig. 34.
