What arch is where the majority of teeth originate from?
1st arch
Teeth are particular from what process?
Medial-nasal process
The primary epithelial band corresponds to what?
Future dental arches
This is a horseshoe shaped band that corresponds to future dental arches
Primary epithelial band
The primary epithelial band gives rise to what?
- Dental lamina
- Vestibular lamina
What is expressed where the tooth bud will form?
Shh → epithelia
Pax9 → mesenchyme
The neural crest mesenchyme induces _____ to become the dental lamina
Oral ectoderm
What are the stages of crown formation?
Initiation → bud stage → cap stage → bell stage → enamel/dentin/pulp
