Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to a system to examine the tooth-crown morphogenesis of rat molars. We examined the interrelation between localization of P-cadherin ( cell adhesion molecule $B!K(J and that of cytoskeleton in the development of the tooth germ. We detected P-cadherin which was connected with cytoskeleton by using Triton X-100 treatment, and examined changes in localization.
In the tooth germ at an early stage of development, P- cadherin was localized at the proximal end of the inner enamel epithelium of the cervical loop and cleft. In the inner enamel epithelium of other parts, P-cadherin was localized in the cell circumference. A large part of the localization of P-cadherin in these tooth germ was not observed after Triton X-100 treatment. In the tooth germ mentioned above, the inner enamel epithelium had cell division ability, and intense positive reaction of cytoskeleton was not observed. These findings suggested that P-cadherin which disappeared by Triton X-100 treatment participated in loose adhesion between the cells.
In the tooth germ of more progressed phase development, a positive reaction of P- cadherin was observed at the proximal end in the differentiation stage ameloblasts, and was observed at the proximal end and distal end in the secretory stage ameloblast. The positive reaction of these P-cadherin remained after Triton X-100 treatment. $B&A(J-Actinin and F-actin were observed in the same location as P-cadherin. This suggested that P-cadherin which remained there formed an adherence junction and participated in a strong adhesion.
In this way, the type of cell adhesion was changed with the differentiation of tooth germ and ameloblast. The change of adhesion form in the enamel organ causes a difference in the adhesive strength in each location. The difference of this adhesive strength settles in the direction to which the inner enamel epithelium bends, and then the folding of inner enamel epithelium seems to occur. Mutual mechanical avidity is maintained by a junctional complex, and crown form will be settled when it starts secretion of dental enamel furthermore.
Therefore, the ability of cell division and changing of interrelation between cell adhesion molecule and cytoskeleton has a major role in the morphogenesis of the crown.

Key words: tooth-crown, rat molar, morphogenesis, cadherin, F-actin.
