Q

What do newly formed odontoblasts develop and begin to do?

A

Develop multiple small cell processes and being secretion of matrix.
Nucleus moves away from the secretory part of the cell (increases the secretion potential). Pulp chamber shrinks over time as more odontoblast form.

Q

What are odontonblasts?

  • organelles
  • cell junctions
  • attachments between cells - why?
A
  • Large nucleus at basal part of cell
  • Large golgi complex
  • Rough endoplasmic reticulum parallel to long axis of cell
  • Process development
    • Initially many small cell processes directed towards basement membrane
  • Cell-cell junction (between odontoblasts and sub-odontoblast). Desmosomal attachments between cells to stop matrix from seeping between cells so the cells mineralise

Q

Initial matrix deposition: late bell stage

Composition is different from the rest of dentine —-.
Has contributions from dental pulp cells beneath developing —-.
Collagen fibres at —- angles to internal enamel epithelium (eventually forms the enamel-dentine junction)
Also known as “corkscrew fibres” of Von Korff

  • Numerous processes lead to branching dentine tubules in this area. Leads to a —- layer.
  • 20 to 150um
  • Different —- process
    • Matrix vesicles compared to nucleation on collagen fibres
      These —- trigger mineralisation.

Q

Explain the matrix deposition of circumpulpal dentine

A
  • Collagen type 1 fibres laid down parallel to dentine-pulpal dentine
  • Slight changes in orientation every 6-10 days (perpendicular to parallel)
  • These changes are possibly due to long-period lines (Andresen lines)

Q

What part of the tooth is predentine laid down?

A

Dental pulp

17
Q

When is the predentine matrix formed?
What appearance does this give under a microscope?

What two types of mineralising front could there be?

A

Formed prior to mineralisation

Pale staining appearance (not mineralised)

Either globular or linear

18
Q

What are the 4 main parts of the matrix around the tooth?

A

DPP
Proteoglycans
Gla-protein
Collagen

19
Q

Give the approx measurements of the different sides of the tooth for predentine

A

Proximal 20nm
Central 40nm
Distal 70-80nm

20
Q

What is another name for the mineralisation front?
What is it rich in?
Thickness?
What are calcospherites that are present here?

A

Metadentine
Rich in dentine phosphoprotein, dentine sialoprotein, proteoglycans
2.5-5um
These are globules formed from calcium salts.

21
Q

Explain the daily variation in rate of deposition

A

Due to circadian (24h) variation in acid-base balance.
Visible as light-dark paired bands.
Between 2-4um apart.

22
Q

Rate of deposition = rate of ?

A

Mineralisation

23
Q

What organelles is the cause of mineralisation?
What process do the cells undergo?

What diameter does mineralisation occur to?

What is the role of enzymes here?

What dentine has crystalline structures?

A

Matrix vesicles

Cell budding or fragmentation

30-200nm

Alkaline phosphate to increase phosphate concentration to develop crystal.

Mantle dentine

24
Q

How do odontoblasts control mineralisation?

Where does mineralisation occur?

A

Controlling influx of calcium ions.
Controlling secretion of metabolism of matrix proteins.

Occurs by calcium ion nucleation at spaces present within bundles of collagen?

25
Q

What are the properties and functions of DPP?

A

Properties:
Highly acidic and so binds calcium ions
Can change shape and bind calcium ions to allow crystal growth

Functions:

  1. Transports calcium ions to mineralisation front
  2. Location of nucleation to specific areas of collagen
  3. Stabilisation of the formed crystals
  4. Inhibits crystal formation in high concentration
26
Q

What proteins are present that can contribute to mineralisation in vitro?

A

Osteonectin (inhibits growth of hydoxyapatite)

Osteopontin (promotes mineralisation)

Bone sialoprotein (found in early mineralising dentine, predentine and peritubular dentine)

Proteoglycans (absorbed onto collagen, decreases as mineralisation proceeds)

27
Q

What are calcospherites?

If they fail to fuse?

A

Spheres which mineral come from - formed from calcium salts.

Interlobular dentine

28
Q

Explain peritubular dentine mineralisation

  • When does it start to form?
  • Does external stimuli alter rate of deposition?
  • Where is the matrix probably derived from?
  • Where is dentine laid down here?
A
  • Starts to form at almost the same time as interlobular dentine
  • No
  • Odontoblast and suffused plasma proteins
  • Laid down around the outside of the tubule (hollow part of tooth) and between the tubules.
29
Q

What is root dentine formation similar to?
What is it initiated by?
Rate of growth in proportion to coronal dentine?

First formed root dentine may have —- mineralisation to later root dentine.

A

Coronal dentine formation
Initiated by formation of epithelial root sheath.
Forms slower than coronal dentine but is continuous and simultaneous with it (multirooted teeth may be an exception with isolated areas of mineralisation).

Delayed

30
Q

Give features of the hyaline layer of root dentine

A 
Relatively structureless (no tubules)
Non-collagenous fine, fibrillar matrix
Proteins are enamel-like
10um thick
Obscure origin
May serve to bond cementum to dentine
31
Q

Explain secondary and tertiary dentine formation

A

Secondary =
Formation starts as completion of root formation is same as primary circumpulpal dentine.
Preprogrammed age change.
Tubular pattern are a little less regular as … odontoblasts become more crowded. slower rate of deposition.
Border usually due to change in direction of tubules.
Rate of formation can be increased by altering blood flow to tooth.
Forms once the tooth is fully developed by there is still dentine being laid down.

Tertiary =
“dentine more or less irregular in structure
deposited at sites or pulpal aspects of 1 dentine corresponding to areas of external irritation”
It can be stimulated by caries or attrition.
It is laid down in response to injury.

32
Q

What are the two types of tertiary dentine formation?

Signals involved?

A

Reactionary = mild irritant, odontoblasts survive and are upregulated

Reparative = strong irritant, odontoblasts die, there is progenitor cell recruitment, induction of odontoblasts differentiation, odontoblast upregulation

Dentine chips in a tissue culture of dental papillae include growth around the caps.
Suggests the signal molecule is in the dentine matrix.
