CFD 12 - odontogensis 1a Flashcards
What is histogenesis?
differentiation of undifferentiated cells to make new tissues
What is the vestibular lamina?
contributes to the vestibule of the mouth, delineating the lips and cheek from the teeth, formation of sulcus
What are the stages of tooth development?
- initiation stage
- bud stage
- cap stage
- bell stage
4/5. crown stage (late bell stage)
What is the external enamel epithelium?
outer layer of cuboidal cells that limites the enamel organ
What is the stellate reticulum?
of epithelial origin but behave like mesenchymal cells
- synthesis of collagen I, II and III
What is the stratum intermedium?
two or three layers of cells sitting above IEE
- express Alkaline Phosphatase like SR but not IEE
What is the inner enamel epithelium?
columnar shaped cells rich in RNA
- connected by desmosomes to each other
What is ectomesenchyme?
interesting group of cells whose origin is very controversial
- some think neural crest others mesodermal somites
At what point in development does an area get ready for a tooth to develop?
around week 6
What happens during week 6 of development to get the area ready for tooth development?
- condensation of ectomesenchyme and a primary epithelial band being formed
- the band is starting to push inwards towards this condensation of mesenchyme
What does the primary epithelial band give rise to?
- dental lamina
- vestibular lamina
What does the vestibular lamina do?
- grows and then breaks down
- forms vestibule between teeth and lips/cheeks (the sulcus)
When the primary epithelial band pushes in, what causes the condensation of the mesenchyme to be triggered?
Fgf8
What do signals coming from the labial/buccal side of the primary epithelial band form?
the vestibular lamina
What do signals coming from the lingual side of the primary epithelial band form?
the dental lamina
By week 7 of development, what is the dental lamina doing?
interacting with the ectomesenchyme
By week 7 of development, what is the vestibular lamina doing?
pushing down and migrating into the mesenchyme, and proliferating quite a lot
By week 8 of development, what are the 2 distinct things going on in terms of tooth development?
- the bud of the dental lamina growing down, interacting with and causing the ectomesenchyme to start differentiating as well
- the vestibular lamina continuing to grow
By week 9 of development, what is happening in terms of tooth development?
signals have told the cells in the vestibular lamina to start dying off
By week 12 of development, what is happening in terms of tooth development?
- the cells of the vestibular lamina have died off, leaving a gap (the labial/buccal sulcus or vestibule)
- dental lamina is going through more and more processes for tooth formation
What are the 3 overlapping phases of tooth development?
initiation, morphogenesis and histogenesis
What 2 things are there interactions between during tooth development?
epithelium (ectoderm) and mesenchyme (ectomesenchyme)
What does the epithelium (ectoderm) give rise to?
- enamel
- hyaline layer of the root
What does the mesenchyme (ectomesenchyme) give rise to?
- dentine
- pulp
- cementum
- periodontium - PDL and bone
