Study Notes
Tooth Development: Bell Stage
- During the Bell stage, the tooth crown takes its final shape (morphodifferentiation).
- Cells producing the hard tissues of the crown (ameloblasts and odontoblasts) develop their distinct features (histodefferentiation).

Description
This quiz focuses on the Bell stage in tooth development, where the tooth crown achieves its final shape through morphodifferentiation. It also covers the distinct features developed by the cells responsible for crown hard tissues, including ameloblasts and odontoblasts.
