DSPP is expressed in secretory stage ameloblasts.
The onset of enamel mineralization occurs earlier and its secretion and maturation are accelerated in Dspp-/-incisors
Structural organization of the inner enamel layer and the mechanical integrity of the DEJ are compromised in Dspp-/- incisors
The odontoblast processes were widened and lacked branching near the DEJ in Dspp-/- incisors
