Q

By week 12 of development, what is happening in terms of tooth development?

A
  • the cells of the vestibular lamina have died off, leaving a gap (the labial/buccal sulcus or vestibule)

25
Q

When and where are the first signs of initiation of tooth development?

A
  • first signs: 6 weeks iul
  • localised epithelial thickening in incisor and molar regions
26
Q

Which tissue initiates tooth development?

A
  • epithelium initiation has the odontogenic potential, then the ectomesenchyme
  • 1st arch epithelium is what generates the initial signal (tissue recombination experiments)
27
Q

Describe the bud stage of the tooth germ

A
  • initiation of epithelial proliferation down into the mesenchyme causing the mesenchyme to condense into a small bell type shape
  • looks like a small bud or droplet
28
Q

Describe the cap stage of the tooth germ

A
  • migration and proliferation within the mesenchyme by the epithelium and starting to surround the condensed ectomesenchyme of this area
  • signals are going backwards and forwards between the two tissues, so you’re getting an interaction and different layers of the enamel organ which are going to form the pulp and the periodontium (the follicle)
  • looks like a hat
29
Q

Describe the bell stage of the tooth germ

A
  • starting to get the shape of the tooth, differentiation in middle and around it
  • the signals going on between these 2 areas are quite intense, and we’re seeing what’s being made and what’s forming
  • matrix is starting to be formed

looks the shape of a tooth

30
Q

Describe the late bell stage of the tooth germ

A
  • dental lamina becomes removed from the external source so the tooth is now in an area of its own and is differentiating through
31
Q

Describe the crown stage of the tooth germ

A
  • starting to get hard tissue formation, dentin and enamel being formed
  • more and more enamel and dentine being formed as we progress through, and the enamel organ starts to shrink and push down as the hard tissue growth
  • at this point almost ready for tooth eruption
32
Q

What are they components of the tooth germ?

A
  • enamel organ
  • dental papilla
  • dental follicle
33
Q

During the bud stage, what cell processes etc are happening?

A

No differentiation, mainly proliferations and interactions between the dental lamina and the dental papilla

34
Q

During the cap stage, what cell processes etc are happening?

A
  • cells of enamel organ still poorly differentiated epithelial cells, but they are interacting with the cells of the condensed ectomesenchyme
  • there is some differentiation beginning to happen
35
Q

During cap stage, what is happening to the dental lamina?

A

growing down but still attached to the oral epithelium

36
Q

During the bell stage, what is happening to the dental lamina?

A

starting to shrink, it’s served its purpose and is now starting to disappear

37
Q

During the bell stage, what is happening to the dental papilla?

A

it is differentiated

38
Q

During the bell stage, what is happening to the outer mesenchyme?

A

Outer mesenchyme now becoming the dental follicle and is starting to surround and differentiate round the enamel organ

39
Q

By the bell stage, what are the 4 distinct layers of the enamel organ?

A
  • inner enamel epithelium
  • stratum intermedium
  • stellate reticulum
  • outer enamel epithelium
40
Q

By early bell stage, what has the ectomesenchyme differentiated to into?

A
  • the dental papilla
  • the dental follicle
41
Q

What does the dental papilla form?

A

odontoblasts (dentine) and pulp

42
Q

What does the dental follicle form?

A

cementum, PDL, and alveolar bone

43
Q

What does the basal lamina of the inner enamel epithelium conform to?

A

future ADJ

44
Q

What are the cells of the inner enamel epithelium like?

A

columnar cells at cusp tips

45
Q

What is the role of the inner enamel epithelium?

A

forms ameloblasts —> enamel

46
Q

What are the cells of the stratum intermedium like?

A

flattened cells

47
Q

What is the role of the stratum intermedium?

A

synthesis and transport to and from IEE
- make matrix growth factors to allow them to interact and go on to form what they are

48
Q

What are the cells of the stellate reticulum like?

A

star shaped - lots of desmosomes
- fluid filled extracellular space
- osmotic gradient due to extracellular GAGs

49
Q

What is the role of the stellate reticulum?

A

maintenance of shape and protection of enamel organ once it’s formed

50
Q

What are the cells of the outer enamel epithelium like?

A

cuboidal cells

51
Q

What is the role of the outer enamel epithelium?

A

maintenance of shape and exchange
- allow exchange between the ectomesenchyme and the enamel organ

52
Q

What are cells rests and cell nests?

A
  • left after the break down of the dental lamina
  • have cystic potential
53
Q

What are the 3 transitory structures of the tooth germ?

A
  • enamel knot
  • enamel niche
  • enamel septum
54
Q

What is the enamel knot?

A

area of developing enamel which seems to send out signals

55
Q

What is the enamel niche?

A

as dental lamina starts to break down, a hole or depression can be seen

56
Q

What is the enamel septum?

A

seems to form between the outer and inner enamel epithelium

57
Q

By what week of development is bud stage seen?

A

8th week

58
Q

By what week of development is cap stage seen?

A

11th week

59
Q

By what week in development is bell stage seen?

A

14th week

60
Q

By what week in development is late bell stage seen (dental lamina is starting to break down)?

A

17th week
