Abstract: Objective: To study the effect of Gli1 inhibitor GANT61 on tooth development in mice. Methods: The mouse molar germ in culture system was observed with stereoscope and histology after being affected by the Gli1 inhibitor GANT61, and the size of the tooth germ was measured. Results: Histological analysis showed that the degree of GANT61 treated group’s development was slower compared with that in the control group. Furthermore, the enamel organ was irregular in shape, and the inner enamel epithelial cells were irregularly arranged. The size of the enamel organ was significantly smaller in the high dose of GANT61 compared with that in the control group. Conclusion: GANT61 can block the development of molar by disturbing the development of enamel organ.
