The outer two layers of your teeth, enamel and dentin, form during the crown stage. Ameloblast cells are responsible for creating enamel, while odontoblast cells create dentin. These cells come from the enamel epithelium and the dental papilla.
The tooth root, made of root dentin and root canals (where dental pulp lives), forms from a combination of three structures: the dental papilla, the dental follicle and another important group of cells known as Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath.
