Considerable amount of research has been focused on dentin mineralization, odontoblast differentiation, and their application in dental tissue engineering. However, very little is known about the differential role of functionally and spatially distinct types of dental epithelium during odontoblast development. Here we show morphological and functional differences in dentin located in the crown and roots of mouse molar and analogous parts of continuously growing incisors. Using a reporter (DSPP-cerulean/DMP1-cherry) mouse strain and mice with ectopic enamel (Spry2 ;Spry4 ), we show that the different microstructure of dentin is initiated in the very beginning of dentin matrix production and is maintained throughout the whole duration of dentin growth. This phenomenon is regulated by the different inductive role of the adjacent epithelium. Thus, based on the type of interacting epithelium, we introduce more generalized terms for two distinct types of dentins: cementum versus enamel-facing dentin. In the odontoblasts, which produce enamel-facing dentin, we identified uniquely expressed genes (Dkk1, Wisp1, and Sall1) that were either absent or downregulated in odontoblasts, which form cementum-facing dentin. This suggests the potential role of Wnt signalling on the dentin structure patterning. Finally, we show the distribution of calcium and magnesium composition in the two developmentally different types of dentins by utilizing spatial element composition analysis (LIBS). Therefore, variations in dentin inner structure and element composition are the outcome of different developmental history initiated from the very beginning of tooth development. Taken together, our results elucidate the different effects of dental epithelium, during crown and root formation on adjacent odontoblasts and the possible role of Wnt signalling which together results in formation of dentin of different quality. © 2021 The Authors.

大量的研究集中在牙本质矿化、成牙本质细胞分化及其在牙组织工程中的应用。然而,对于在成牙本质细胞发育过程中功能和空间上不同类型的牙上皮的差异作用知之甚少。在这里,我们展示了小鼠磨牙的牙冠和牙根以及不断生长的切牙的类似部位的牙本质的形态和功能差异。使用报告基因(DSPP- cerulean / DMP1-cherry )小鼠品系和具有异位釉质的小鼠(Spry2 ; Spry4 ),我们表明牙本质的不同微观结构是在牙本质基质产生的早期开始的,并在牙本质生长的整个过程中保持不变。这种现象受相邻上皮的不同诱导作用的调节。因此,基于相互作用的上皮类型,我们为两种不同类型的牙本质引入了更通用的术语:牙骨质与牙釉质面向的牙本质。在产生牙釉质面向牙本质的成牙本质细胞中,我们鉴定了独特表达的基因(Dkk1 、 Wisp1 和 Sall1 ),这些基因在形成牙骨质面向牙本质的成牙本质细胞中要么不存在,要么下调。这表明 Wnt 信号在牙本质结构模式形成中的潜在作用。最后,我们通过利用空间元素组成分析(LIBS)来显示两种发育上不同类型牙本质的钙和镁组成的分布。因此,牙本质内部结构和元素组成的变化是从牙齿发育早期开始的不同发育历史的结果。总之,我们的结果阐明了牙上皮在牙冠和牙根形成过程中对相邻成牙本质细胞的不同影响,以及 Wnt 信号的可能作用,这些共同导致了不同质量的牙本质的形成。
