Chapter 3: Tooth Origin and Formation Flashcards
Tooth arrangement
Dentition
Permanent teeth
Succedaneous
Scale off
Exfoliate
Dentition contains both deciduous and secondary teeth
Mixed dentition
Teeth of various shapes
Heterodont
Formation and origin of the tooth
Odontogenesis
First, or bud, stage of development; begins at the firth or sixth week in utero
Initiation
Membrane band containing organs of future teeth
Dental lamina
Mucous tissue covering and connective tissue layer
Epithelium
Second stage of development; reproduction of new parts; begins during the fourth or fifth month in utero
Proliferation
Third stage of development; acquiring different functions; causes changes in the tooth bud shape and makeup
Differentiation
Branching into different tissues
Histodifferentiation
Changing into a different shape
Morphodifferentiation
Fourth stage of development; maturation stage; mineral salts and organic matter are set in place for tooth formation
Apposition
Fifth phase in development; hardening and setting of tooth tissues
Calcification
Sixth stage of development; “cutting of the teeth”; tooth moves toward oral cavity and enters through tissues
Eruption
Final/seventh stage of development; wearing away occurs where teeth interact through mastication and speech
Attrition
Enamel organ; gibes the tooth its covering
Dental organ
Makes up the inner structures of the tooth, such as the dentin and pulp
Dental papilla
Makes up the surrounding covering for the dental organ and papilla
Dental sac
Outer layer of development
Ectoderm
Middle layer of tooth
Mesoderm
Connective tissue cells
Mesenchyme
First set/baby teeth
Deciduous teeth
Removal of hard tooth surface
Resorption
Cells that bring about absorption of primary tooth roots
Odontoclasts
Cells that destroy tooth cementum
Cementoclasts
