craniofacial
• at 6 weeks of age, the shear zone (area between the tooth- and alveolus-related regions of the periodontal ligament) is obscure and by 12 weeks the shear zone is undetectable and the periodontal ligament is wider
• incisor eruption is disrupted
• at 6 weeks of age the dentin layer is thicker and gently waved
• by 12 weeks of age the dentin layer is compressed and undulated
• incisors are a chalky, white color indicating that the enamel layers are disorganized
• at 6 weeks of age the enamel layer is thicker and gently waved
• by 12 weeks of age the enamel layer is compressed and undulated
• at 6 weeks of age the ameloblastic layers show focal disorganization
• at 12 weeks of age the ameloblast layer is loosened, contains some non-polarized cells, gaps are seen between the polarized cells, and the morphology and alignment of cells is severely disrupted
