Chemical analyses and the appearance of developing enamel from 1st maxillary incisors of human fetuses aged 5-9 mo. distinguished 2 stages during this period of development. The 1st corresponded with the production of forming enamel, which was soft, translucent and partially mineralized. The 2nd to the maturation or secondary mineralization of enamel. The final stage in enamel development, i.e., the mature, hard enamel is generally absent in the tooth of the 9 mo old fetus. The concentrations of P and Ca of the forming enamel in the tooth axis did not change significantly, varying between 9-12 and 21-26% by weight, respectively. The P and Ca concentrations rose steeply across the boundary between the forming and the maturing enamel to reach a maximum value of 17 and 35%, respectively, in the 2nd stage.
