For investigation of how growth hormone affects tooth development, bromodeoxyuridine immunocytochemistry and morphometry were used for the study of cell proliferation in odontogenic epithelial cell layers. The number of cells in the S phase, as revealed by this technique, and in mitosis, were counted in Bouin's-perfused and paraffin-embedded undecalcified maxillary incisor enamel organs of normal rats, in growth-hormone-deficient dwarf rats, and in dwarf rats treated with growth hormone (66 µg/100 g body wt) twice daily for six days. Significantly fewer labeled nuclei, unlabeled nuclei, and total nuclei of various odontogenic epithelia were found in dwarf rats, but in dwarf rats treated with growth hormone, numbers of labeled nuclei equivalent to normal were found in the internal enamel epithelium, stratum intermedium, and Hertwig root sheath. Moreover, the mitotic index for pre-ameloblasts was 1.64 in normal rats, 0.92 for dwarf rats, and 1.66 for growth-hormone-treated dwarf rats (SD, 0.10). Other parameters-such as the labeling index and the ratio of positive to negative nuclei-were similarly related to GH status. Thus, growth hormone may play a role in the proliferation of the odontogenic epithelia in the rat.
