6. Tooth Development Flashcards
Types of primary embryonic layers (3)
Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Endoderm
Definition of ectomesenchyme (2)
Part of the neural crest that develops beside the primitive nervous system (ectoderm)
Fourth cell type (also called the neural crest)
From which primary embryonic layers are tooth structures derived (2)
Enamel from ectoderm
All others from ectomesenchyme
Cause of mandibular dysostosis
Failure of ectomesenchymal cells to migrate
Stages in tooth development (5)
Initiation Morphogenesis Cytodifferentiation Matrix secretion Root formation
First part of tooth development (3)
Development of primary epithelial band
At 6wks iul
Appears as a thickening in epithelium of the embryonic mouth
Second part of tooth development (3)
Development of the dental lamina
At 7wks iul
PEB has grown into the jaw and divided into two parts
At 7wks iul, what has the PEB divided into (2)
Vestibular lamina (breaks down to form buccal sulcus) Dental lamina (from which enamel organ forms)
Third part of tooth development (4)
Bud stage, 8-10wks iul
Enamel organ forms
Dental lamina thickens into a bud stage enamel organ
Ectomesenchymal condensation appears (dental papilla)
Fourth part of tooth development (3)
Cap stage, 11wks iul
Enamel organ forms a cap over papilla
Cap stage enamel organ is IEE and EEE
Where do IEE and EEE meet
At the cervical loop
Fifth part of tooth development (3)
Bell stage, 14wks iul
More cell layers differentiated
Tooth shape is being defined
Cell layers of the bell stage enamel organ (4)
Stratum intermedium
Stellate reticulum
Internal enamel epithelium
External enamel epithelium
Definition of enamel knot
Where cusps, mammelons and cingulums are established
What happens at 12wks iul and what is this
Extension appears on the lingual side of the dental lamina
This is the dental lamina for the permanent successor
What happens at 16wks iul (2)
First permanent molar germ develops
Develops as a backwards extension of the dental lamina
Sixth part of tooth development (3)
Late bell stage, 18wks iul
Crown shape is well defined
Apposition of enamel and dentine begins
