The lateral enamel lamina (LEL) is a part of the enamel organ, which is probably not involved in tooth formation. We detected the LEL in the sheep, the dolphin and the vole by light microscopy and computer-aided three-dimensional reconstruction. The LEL could be found in cap to bell stage tooth primordia, most clearly in slowly developing tooth germs.Probably it is a part of all mammalian tooth primordia that undergoes regression during morphogenesis of the enamel organ. As a reducing structure, it should be considered in studies of tooth development.
