1A Odontogenesis Flashcards
What is the definition of histogenesis?
Differentiation of undifferentiated cells to make new tissues
What are the mineralised dental tissues?
Enamel, dentine and cementum
What are the unmineralised dental tissues?
Dental pulp and periodontium
What is the first stage of tooth development?
Initiation stage
What are the two laminas in development and what do they contribute towards?
Dental lamina - contributes to the development of the teeth
Vestibular lamina - contributes to the vestibule of the mouth, delineating the lips and cheek from the teeth formation of sulcus
What is the second stage of tooth development?
Bud stage
What is the third stage of tooth development
cap stage - tooth germ grows into a cap shape
What is the fourth stage of tooth development?
Bell stage - differentiation occurs to furthest extent and starts to resemble a bell
What is the last stage of tooth development?
crown stage/late bell stage
What is mesenchyme?
A type of loosely organised embryonic connective tissue of undifferentiated cells which gives rise to most tissues
What is ectomesenchyme?
A type of mesenchyme confined just to the cranial region
What does the primary epithelial band give rise to?
- dental lamina
- vestibular lamina
At what week is the first signs of tooth development?
Week 6
What happens at week 6 in relation to tooth development?
We have a condensation of ectomesenchyme
The pimary epithelial band is being formed and starting to push inwards towards this condensation of mesenchyme
What happens in week 7?
We have differentiation between dental lamina (interacting with the mesenchyme) and the vestibular lamina (pushing mesenchyme down and proliferating a lot)
