Q

Chorionic villus sampling

A

Chorionic villus sampling may be used for genetic and chromosome testing in the first trimester of pregnancy . Here are some reasons that a woman might elect to undergo CVS:

Previously affected child or a family history of a genetic disease, chromosomal abnormalities, or metabolic disorder

Maternal age over 35 years by the pregnancy due date

Risk of a sex-linked genetic disease

Previous ultrasound with questionable or abnormal findings

Abnormal cell-free DNA test

24
Q

Ectomesenchyme importance in dentistry

A

Derivatives are dentine cementum pulp PDL jaw bones
Most of the mesenchyme in the head
PNS

25
Q

What is ectomesenchyme

A

Another name for neural crest

Very important for development of head

Derived from ectoderm but has characteristics of mesenchyme

26
Q

Where does primitive streak extend from

A

Formation of primitive node , primitive node and primitive pit extends towards the caudal end forming the primitive groove

(cranial end of primitive streak expands)

27
Q

What does dental papilla cells differentiate into?
What does IEE cells differentiate into?

A

Dental papillae cells into odontoblasts
IEE cells differentiate into ameloblasts

28
Q

Stomodaeum

A

Primitive mouth

29
Q

What forms the enamel organ and what forms the dental papilla

A

Ectoderm cells into dental lamina into enamel organ
Ectomesenchyme condensation into dental papilla

30
Q

What is the name of the point where EEE and IEE meet

A

Cervical loop
(Extends apically in root formation)

31
Q

4 cells of enamel organ

A

Stratum intermedium
IEE
EEE
Stellatereticulum

32
Q

What is the Stellate reticulum function

A

Hydrophilic, to help maintain space for developing crowns

33
Q

Which comes first? Dentine genesis or amelogenesis?

A

Dentinogenesis

34
Q

What differentiates into odontoblasts and ameloblasts

A

Dental papilla cells into odonto
IEE into ameloblasts

35
Q

Enamel proteins

A

Enamelins
Ameloblastins
Amelogenins (90%)

36
Q

Describe secretory and maturation phase of amelogenesis

A

30% mineralised then 96% mineralised when matrix proteins are removed

37
Q

What is the epithelial attachment important for

A

Cells that generate junctional epithelium (hemidesmosomes)

38
Q

Which way does the nucleus migrate during the tome’s processes

A

Basally (tomes process at the apical side)

39
Q

Which direction does the cervical loop move in root formation

A

Apical

40
Q

HERS (hedwig epithelial root sheath)

A

2 layers (IEE AND EEE)

41
Q

Cell rests of malassez

A

Remnants when HERS degenerates
No function but can cause cysts/Tumours

42
Q

What stimulates cementoblasts in root formation

A

When Ectomesenchyme cells comes in contact with dentine, differentiate into cementoblasts and starts producing cementum
