High Power of Enamel Niche

This section shows an enamel niche (A). Connective tissue surrounding the dental organ fills the niche, giving the impression of an island of connective tissue within the dental organ. The dental lamina (B) forms the lingual wall of the niche (C), the thickened portion of the buccal lamina forms the buccal wall of the niche (D), and the dental organ forms the floor of the niche (E).
