Chapter 19 Flashcards
When are the first signs of tooth development seen?
By the 6th embryonic week
What is the āUā shaped thickening of the epithelium of the primitive oral cavity?
The Dental Lamina
What position is the dental lamina found in?
in a position corresponding to the future arch-shaped arrangement of the upper and lower teeth.
What happens at the 8th embryonic week?
the dental lamina continues to thicken in 10 areas of the upper and 10 areas of the lower arch.
What does the 20 localized thickenings correspond to?
The position of the future primary dentition.
What are the 3 stages of the enamel organ?
- Bud Stage
- Cap Stage
- Bell Stage
The initial budding from the dental lamina at the 10 thickened areas in each arch is referred to as what?
Bud Stage
What is the first stage of development in the enamel organ , that forms the enamel of the teeth?
Bud Stage
During the bud stage, where do the cells in the middle of the bud come from?
the outer or superficial layers of the epithelium.
During the bud stage, where do the cells in the periphery of the bud come from?
the deep or basal layers of the oral epithelium.
What happens when the deepest part of the buds become slightly concave?
Cap stage is beginning.
What are the three different components of the Cap Stage?
Outer Enamel Epithelium (OEE), Inner Enamel Epithelium (IEE), and the Stellate Reticulum.
What component of the cap stage is the outer most part of the structure?
The Outer Enamel Epithelium (OEE)
Outer Enamel Epithelium (OEE)
Is the direct continuation of the basal layer of the oral epithelium.
The cells that outline the concavity in the deepest part of the cap stage compose what?
the Inner Enamel Epithelium (IEE)
