Investigations of the maturation pattern of rat incisor enamel by quantitative electron microscopy and electron-probe microanalysis indicate that mineralization of rat enamel can be regarded, as in humans, as a regular and progressive process pattern of enamel matrix formation. The species variations that have been proposed in the pattern of enamel mineralization can be related to differences in both the rate of formation of the enamel matrix and in the total thickness of the enamel produced. Neither the microradiographic appearance of developing enamel, nor the solubility and staining characteristics of the organic matrix accurately reflects the mineral concentration gradients established during the mineralization process as indicated from electron microprobe analysis.
通过定量电子显微镜和电子探针微分析对大鼠切牙釉质成熟模式的研究表明，大鼠釉质的矿化，如同人类一样，可被视为釉质基质形成的一种规律且渐进的过程模式。在釉质矿化模式中所提出的物种差异，可能与釉质基质形成速率以及所产生的釉质总厚度的差异有关。发育中釉质的显微放射照相外观，以及有机基质的溶解性和染色特性，均无法准确反映电子微探针分析所显示的矿化过程中建立的矿物质浓度梯度。
