510-10 Flashcards
ectomesenchyme
neural crest cells that condense and direct primary epithelial band thickening
Primary Epithelial Band
thickened epithelium on mandibular and maxillary processes
2 models of tooth type differentiation
- ) field model- different gradients of genes
2. ) clone model- one tooth directs development of adjacent tooth
vestibular lamina
will develop into space between the teeth and cheek
dental lamina
ingrowth of primary epithelial band that will become tooth
bud
invaginated epithelia thickens to form a bud
dental papillae
condensed ectomesenchyme cells that will become dentin and pulp
cap stage
enamel organ has 3 layers: inner enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum, and outer enamel epithelium
stellate reticulum
cells that draw water into the enamel organ
enamel knot
non dividing cells that appear during cap stage and will organize the cusp development
bell stage
dental lamina begins to degenerate and outer enamel epithelia looks like a bell
cervical loop
region where IEE and OEE fuse together at cervical end of tooth
enamel chord
forms during bell stage and corresponds to the cusps of molars
enamel pearls
dental lamina that isn’t degenerated and forms enamel balls
apposition stage
characterized by the production of enamel and dentin
- ) amyloblasts differentiate first
- ) odontoblasts differentiate and produce predentin
- ) enamel is produced
Hertwig’s Epithelial Root Sheath
apical region of developing tooth where IEE and OEE fuse (gives rise to odontoblasts and cementoblasts)
succedaneous lamna
permanent tooth
3 stages of amelogenesis
- ) presecretory
- ) secretory
- ) maturation
proteins produced by ameloblast
- ) amelogenins- orient rods
- ) non amelogenins- not present in mature structure
- enamelins- elongation of apatite crystals
- ameloblastin- sticking of ameloblasts to enamel
tome’s process
part of ameloblast where enamel is secreted
perikymata
shallow furrows in the enamel that corresponds to the striae of retzius
von korff’s fibers
collagen fibers associated with predentin
epithelial rests of malassez
part of HERS function is not well known
