Dentin-Pulp Complex Flashcards
3 germ layers of the gastrula:
Ecto, Meso, Endo derm
3 components of the Ectoderm:
external ectoderm, neural crest (ectomesenchymal), neural tube
Stages after zygote formation:
blastula –> gastrula
Blastopore is first seen at this stage:
Gastrula
Which germ layer is derived from pharyngeal arches?
all 3
Gives rise to the dental organ:
ectoderm
Dental organ gives rise to:
internal/ external dental epi, stellate reticulum, stratum intermedium
internal dental epi gives rise to:
ameloblast, enamel
external dental epi gives rise to:
JE, primary epi attachment
Gives rise to dental papilla and follicle:
ectomesenchyme
Papilla gives rise to:
pulp
pulp gives rise to:
odontoblasts –> dentin
Follicle gives rise to:
periodontium (PDL, cementum, alveolar bone, part of gingiva
Gives rise to dental lamina:
invagination of oral epi
3 stages of odontogenesis:
Bud, Cap, Bell
At which stage do we see histodifferentiation and morphodifferentiation?
Bell stage
Give rise to ameloblasts:
internal dental epi
Signals ameloblasts to deposit enamel:
oodontoblasts
Odontoblasts form from:
outer dental papilla
Which is laid down first, dentin or enamel?
dentin
Where do the inner and outer dental epi meet?
cevical loop
What do the inner and outer dental epi combine to form?
HERS
Signals differentiation of odontoblatsts, acts as template for root:
HERS
What happens before HERS fragments?
hyaline layer forms
These differentiate into cementoblasts
cells of the dental follicle that migrate to the oot dentin
Remnants of the HERS become:
epi cells rests of Malassez
These create direct communication bw the pulp and periodontium:
lateral canals
What creates lateral canals?
HERS fragmentation before dentin deposition
What determines root length?
genetics
To where does the HERS extend apically?
to the genetically predetermined root length until only the apical foramen remains
When HERS extends to the genetically predetermined root length, where is the apical foramen?
at the anatomical apex
When does the foramen shift form the anatomical apex to a short distance coronal to the apex?
After tooth development
Layers to pulp structure:
odontoblast layer, cell-free zone (of Weil), cell rich zone, pulpal core
pulpal core is aka:
pulp proper
Structures found in the Cell-free zone (of Weil)
Caps, subontontoblastic Plexus of Raschkow
Structures found in Cell-rich zone:
fibroblasts, undifferentiated mesenchymal cells
Components of pulp structure:
odontoblasts, fibroblasts, extracellular CT, nerves, vasculature, immune cells, lymphatics
Cell shape, odontoblasts:
pseudostratified columnar
Odontoblastic process secretes:
collagen, non-collagenous proteins
Type of collagen odontoblastic processes secrete:
Type I
2 non-collagenous proteins that odontoblastic processes secrete?
dentin sialoprotein, phosphophoryn
Dentin is composed of:
50% mineral, 30% type I collagen, 20% water
Most numerous cell in the pulp:
fibroblasts
Extracellular CT in the pulp, collagen types:
Type I, III, and V
Extracellular CT is made of:
collagen and GAG’s
Fxn of GAG’s:
attract water, form gel, shock absorber
3 GAG’s:
Dermatin sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, Hyaluronate
Predominate GAG in pulp:
dermatan sulfate
