Q

At what stage do cells become specialised?

A

late bell stage within matrix secretion

29
Q

What do dental papilla cells (adjacent to the internal enamel epithelium) differentiate into?

A

odontoblasts

30
Q

What do odontoblasts do?

A

lay down dentine matrix which is later mineralised (predentine)

31
Q

What do IEE cells differentiate into and when?

A

Once dentine formation has begun, IEE cells differentiate into ameloblasts, which form enamel

32
Q

What is the process of dentinogenesis?

A

Odontoblast differentiation from dental papilla cells near IEE
Deposition of dentine matrix (mainly collagen)
This unmineralised dentine is predentine
Mineralisation of dentine (hydroxyapatite)

33
Q

What is the role of stem cells?

A

stem cells have capability to become odontoblasts and produce tertiary dentine

34
Q

What are the 2 phases of formation of enamel?

A
  1. Protein matrix deposited
    Matrix is partially mineralised (30%)
  2. Once this framework is established, the organic part is removed
35
Q

What are the 7 stages of ameloblast differentiation?

A
  1. Morphogenic
  2. Histodifferentiation
  3. Secretory (initial)
  4. Secretory (tomes process)
  5. Maturative (ruffle-ended)
  6. Maturative(smooth)
  7. Protective
36
Q

What happens in step 1 of amelogenesis?

A

Ameloblast differentiation:

  • Dentine induces IEE cells to differentiate into ameloblasts
  • they elongate, becoming columnar
  • the nucleus migrates to the basal end of the cell
37
Q

What happens in step 2 of amelogenesis?

A

Secretory phase:

  • Ameloblasts become secretory cells
  • They synthesise and secrete the enamel matrix proteins (amelogenins)
  • The matrix is partially mineralised (30% mineral as seeded crystallites)
38
Q

What happens in step 3 of amelogenesis?

A

Maturation phase:

  • Most of the matrix proteins are removed
  • Mineral content of enamel is increased
  • Mature enamel is 95% mineral
39
Q

What happens in step 4 of amelogenesis?

A

Protection phase:

  • Ameloblasts regress to form a protective layer – the reduced enamel epithelium
  • Involved in eruption
  • Formation of epithelial attachment
40
Q

What is the full name of amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

Autosomal recessive hypoplastic hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta

41
Q

What gene does amelogensis imperfecta affect?

A

Matrix metallopeptidase 20 gene or MMP20

42
Q

What does MMP20 gene do?

A

Provides instructions for making enamelysin

Enamelysin cleaves other proteins, such as amelogenin and ameloblastin, into smaller pieces (easier to remove)

43
Q

Why do teeth look dull in amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

not shiny due to low mineralisation of enamel
enamel becomes similar to dentine composition and becomes indistingushable on radiographs

44
Q

What has to finish for root formation to begin?

A

crown formation

45
Q

What is the 5th stage in tooth development?

A

root formation

46
Q

Where do the EEE and IEE meet?

A

cervical loop

47
Q

What does migration of the cervical loop map out?

A

crown shape

48
Q

What is the apical growth (proliferation of cervical root cells) of cervical root known as?

A

hertwig’s epithelial root sheath

49
Q

How many layers is hertwig’s epithelial root sheath?

How many layers is the enamel organ?

A

This is a 2-cell-layered structure, in contrast to the 4-layered enamel organ

50
Q

What does the Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath induce?

A

formation of root dentine

51
Q

What is ‘debris of Malassez’?

A

epithelial cells on the PDL that are remains of HERS -may develop into cyst

52
Q

What are cementoblasts?

A

differentiated ectomesenchymal cells from the follicle

53
Q

What are fibres from the developing PDL that are embedded into cementum called?

A

sharpeys fibres

54
Q

What are rests of malassez cysts called?

A

odontogenic cysts - happen during formation of dentine

55
Q

What is the type of tissue, origin and product of the enamel organ?

A

epithelium, ectoderm, enamel

56
Q

What is the type of tissue, origin and product of the dental papilla?

A

ectomesenchyme, neural crest, dentine, pulp

57
Q

What is the type of tissue, origin and product of the dental follicle?

A

ectomesenchyme, neural crest, cementum, PDL, alv bone

58
Q

How can teeth developmental abnormalities occur?

A

Prenatal ž
Postnatal
Inherited ž
Acquired

59
Q

What is gemination

A

one tooth divided into two and fused together

60
Q

What is fusion?

A

two different teeth fused together with hypodontia of one

61
Q

What is concrescence?

A

joining of adjacent teeth by cementum.

62
Q

Which epithelium is found in the primary epithelial band?

A

Stratified squamous epithelium

63
Q

Notice the primary epithelial band in both the mandibular and maxillary processes. What relationship do they have to each other?

A

Maxilla labial to mandible

64
Q

The enamel organ is apparently connected by a stalk-like structure to the oral surface. This stalk like structure in 3D is U-shaped.
What is the connecting stalk called?

A

dental lamina

65
Q

Where are the ectomesenchymal cells derived from?

A

neural crest

66
Q

What is the organic matrix of dentine called?

A

predentine

67
Q

What name is given to the layer of dentine formed first, which lies next to the future ADJ?

A

mantle dentine

68
Q

The epithelial cells next to the forming dentine
What are they called?

A

IEE
internal enamel epithelium

69
Q

The IEE cells can receive their nutrients from the blood vessels of the dental papilla.
However, after dentine and enamel matrices are created, this is not possible.
Therefore, the ameloblasts gather nutrients from a different source
What is the evidence of that?

A

The presence of a rich vascular bed near the enamel organ

a decrease in blood flow to the dental papilla after the matrix hardens.

70
Q

Predentine is the most recent secretion of the odontoblasts which has not yet had time to mineralise.
Within this pale zone, look for globules which are stained darker pink.
What are these ?

A

Calcospherites
A spherical zone of hydroxyapatite formed during the mineralization phase of dentine formation
Fuse together to form mineralised dentine

71
Q

Now look at the layer of columnar ameloblasts forming enamel. It is a single, much more regular layer than the odontoblast layer.
Are these ameloblasts taller or shorter than the odontoblasts ?

A

taller

72
Q

Notice 2-3 rows of cells lying close to the ameloblasts. This is the stratum intermedium.
Are the ameloblast nuclei nearer or further away from the stratum intermedium?

A

nearer

73
Q

What is globular dentine also known as?

A

calcospherites

74
Q

In the protective phase of amelogenesis, what happens to the ameloblast remains before/after eruption?

A

The reduced enamel epithelium forms the remains of the ameloblast cell layer and protects the enamel during eruption. After eruption it becomes the junctional epithelium.
