Abstract
Embryonic mouse tooth germs treated with L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid cease their development, undergo a regression of the enamel organ, and do not maintain the histological characteristics of the explanted dental organ. On the other hand if procollagen is added exogenously to explants continously treated with L-azetidine, the effects of the inhibitor are not seen and the tissue is maintained. Thus, exogenously supplied procollagen supports morphogenesis in tooth rudiments that are unable to synthesize procollagen.
