Development Of Tooth And Supportin Tissues Flashcards
Continuous horseshoe-band of thickened epithelium in the location of upper and lower jaws
Primary epithelial band
Thickening of the oral epithelium adjacent to condensation of ectomesenchyme
Dental lamina
2 subdivisions of primary epithelial band
Dental lamina
Vestibular lamina
How many stages are there in tooth development?
3 stages
Characterized by rounded, localized growth of epithelium surrounded by proliferating mesenchymal cells, which are packed closely beneath and around the epithelial buds
Bud stage
Condensation of the ectomesenchyme immediately subjacent to the tooth bud
Cap stage
It will eventually form the enamel
Enamel organ
Ball of condensed ectomesenchymal cells (it will form the dentin and pulp)
Dental papilla
This give rise to cementum and the periodontal ligament
Dental follicle or dental sac
Extension from the dental lamina that id connected to enamel organ
Lateral lamina
It is an artifact produced during sectioning of tissue
Enamel niche
Densely packed accumulation of cells projecting from the inner enamel epithelium into dental papilla
Enamel knot
Term used to constitute the structure that has enamel organ, dental papilla and dental follicle
Dental organ or tooth germ
Cluster of non dividing epithelial cells visible im section of molar cap stage
Enamel knot
First noted by expression of p21 gene expression
Enamel knot precursor cells
Temporary structures that disappear before enamel formation begins
Enamel knot or enamel cord
Stage where the enamel organ resembles a bell with deepening of the epithelium over dental papilla
Bell stage
Initiation of tooth development begins at?
37 days
Determination of specific tooth types at their correct position of jaws
Patterning
