Chapter 6-2 Tooth development and Eruption Flashcards
When does root development begin
After crown is completely formed and tooth begins to erupt
What structure is responsible for root development
Cervical loop
What is the cervical loop consists of
Inner enamel epithelium and outer enamel epithelium
What is the Hertwig Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS)
Elongated cervical loop that encloses dental papilla tissue
What is te HERS responsible for
Shaping roots by inducing dentin formation of root area
Outer dental papilla cells undergo what processes (2) to become what?
Undergo induction and differentiation to become odontoblasts
What does HERS induce?
Odontoblastic differentation
Odontoblasts undergo what to do what?
Undergoes dentinogenesis to begin secreting predentin
When root dentin formation is complete what occurs?
Basement membrane disintgetration
HERS disintegration
Rise of ERM from HERS
What is Epithelial rests of Malassez (ERM)
Cells that form from disintegrated HERS cells
What do ERM cells end up in?
Periodontal ligament (PDL)
Order of layer formation
Dentin, cementum, Pulp
Cementum formation begins with?
Cementoblasts undergoing cementogenesis which causes appositional growth of cementum in tooth area when HERS disintegrates
Explain the process of cementogenesis
Lays down cementum matrix or cementoid
What happens to cementoblasts during cementum formation
Become trapped in the cementum they produce
