Dental development Flashcards
what are the 3 primary embryonic layers that all body tissues develop from?
ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm
what of the 3 embryonic layers does tooth enamel derive from?
ectoderm
what do teeth develop from?
tooth germs
what is ectomesenchyme?
part of the neural crest that develops beside the primitive nervous system (ectoderm)
what do all parts of teeth and supporting structures except enamel derive from?
ectomesenchyme
what is the neural crest/ectomesenchyme?
a 4th cell type that forms between the ectoderm and neural tube
what is mandibulofacial dysostosis?
failure of ectomesenchymal cells to migrate
increased pupillary distance
ears malformed and lower position
what is involved in tooth initiation?
primary epithelial band
dental lamina
how does tooth initiation begin in a 5-6 w/o embryo?
2 mandibular process come together
stomadaeum-embryonic mouth
2 maxillary process seam with fronto-nasal process
what is a primary epithelial band?
change in epithelium
approx 6 weeks
thickening in epithelium of embryonic mouth
how does epithelium -> band -> dental lamina
period of cell proliferation
describe the dental lamina?
approx 7 wks
PEB grown into jaw and divided by apoptosis
vestibular lamina breaks down to form buccal sulcus
dental lamina goes on to develop enamel organ
what are the components of morphogenesis?
bud
cap
of enamel organ
describe the bud stage
8-10 wks
lamina thickens into a bud stage enamel organ
ectomesenchymal condensation appears - later aggregated to form dental papilla
describe the cap stage
11 wks enamel organ forms cap over papilla cap contains: external enamel epithelium internal enamel epithelium -meet at cervical loop
what is hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia?
absence of some teeth
what is severe hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia?
absence of hair and teeth
how can a genetic disorder be reversed?
gene therapy
what is included in cytodifferentiation?
cells function differentiates -ameloblast/odontoblast bell stage crown pattern formation permanent tooth germ
