32
Q

4 layers of developing dental organ

A

Inner enamel epithelium
Stratum intermedium
Stellate reticulum
Outer enamel epithelium

33
Q

Where do ameloblasts and enamel come from?

A

IEE

34
Q

Where does dentin come from?

A

Dental papilla –> odontoblasts

35
Q

Where does pulp come from?

A

Dental papilla

36
Q

Where does cementum come from?

A

Dental follicle –> cementoblasts

37
Q

Where do PDL fibroblasts come from?

A

Dental follicle

38
Q

Where do osteoblasts come from?

A

Dental follicle

39
Q

How does HERS form?

A

IEE + OEE fuse to form cervical loop. These cells divide and extend apically

40
Q

HERS extends around the ____

A

Dental papilla

41
Q

What happens to cells in contact with HERS?

A

Cells in dental papilla –> odontoblasts –> secrete unmineralized dentin matrix

42
Q

What do HERS cells secrete?

A

Embryonic enamel matrix proteins secrete over dentin matrix

43
Q

When does dentin begin to mineralize?

What else happens?

A

When HERS breaks down and unmineralized dentin matrix + enamel matrix proteins contacts cells of the dental follicle. Cells of dental follicle differentiate into cementoblasts

44
Q

What is the first type of cementum formed?

Description?

A

Fibrillar cementum

Cementum matrix w/ collagen fibers

45
Q

Remnants of HERS is ____

A

Epithelial rests of Mallassez

46
Q

What are Sharpey’s fibers?

A

Collagen fiber bundles from PDL that become entrapped in cementum and bone matrix

47
Q

Where else are Sharpey’s fibers found?

A

Insertions of tendons and ligaments into bone

48
Q

What is bundle bone?

Where is it found?

A

Bundles of collagen fibers in bone

Tendon/ligament insertions into bone + Alveolar socket

49
Q

Collagen fibers are ___ and ____ numerous in cementum. ___ and ____ numerous in bone

A

Thinner
More
Thicker
Less

50
Q

How does active eruption occur?

A

PDL fibers oriented more coronally on alveolar bone –> PDL fibroblasts attached to collagen fibers contract –> this pulls the tooth more coronally

51
Q

What forms the reduced enamel epithelium?

A

Flattened inner enamel epithelium

52
Q

What does the REE attach to and with what?

A

Enamel

HD

53
Q

What forms primary epithelial attachment

A

IEE + OEE after stellate reticulum and stratum intermedium break down

54
Q

What forms secondary epithelial attachment?

A

Cells of the oral epithelium as they migrate down over the enamel

55
Q

What is passive eruption?

A

No more active eruption, the secondary epithelial attachment continues to split and recede away from the tooth

56
Q

What forms the gingival sulcus?

A
