Optical phenomenon due to the change in direction of enamel rods
Bands of hunter schreger
25
They appear as dark and light zones
Bands of hunter schreger
26
Dark bands | Rods cut TRANSVERSELY PERPENDICULAR to the long axis
Diazones
27
Light bands FISH SCALE Rods cut parallel
Parazones
28
Resembles tufts of grass
Enamel tufts
29
HYPOMINERALIZED ENAMEL from the dej to about 1/5 - 1/3 of the thickness of enamel
Enamel tufts
30
LOWER INORG CONTENT (hypomineralized enamel)
Enamel tufts
31
Are avenue for the lateral spread of caries at the dej
Enamel tufts
32
Occurs developmentally due to the abrupt changes in the direction of grps of rods
Enamel tufts
33
Grass Occurs developmentally Lateral spread of caries in dej Hypomineralized enamel
Enamel tufts
34
Visible cracks Starts at surface of enamel Develop during enamel formation
Enamel lamellae
35
Extensions of odontoblast | Extending for a short distance into enamel
Enamel spindle
36
RESIDUAL TUBULES | formed when ODONTOBLASTIC PROCESSES extend across the DEJ during ODONTOGENESIS
Enamel spindle
37
Causes HYPERSENSITIVITY along the DEJ
Enamel spindle
38
This type of microlinkage | increases attachment of enamel and dentin
Scalloped dej
39
Scalloped dej is towards the
Enamel
40
Process of enamel formation
Amelogenesis
41
Stages of amelogenesis
Presecretory Secretory Maturation Protective
42
Phases of presecretory stage
Morphogenetic phase | Org and differentiation
43
Determines the form and shape of crown
Membrana preformativa
44
Determines if ant or post teeth
Cells of iee
45
What stage? Membrane - form and shape of crown Iee- ant or post teeth
Morphogenetic phase of presecretory stage
46
Preparatory stage to secrete enamel
Differentiation phase of presecretory stage
47
Stage where in ameloblasts develop an extensive protein synthetic apparatus
Differentiation phase of presecretory stage
48
What stage? | SECRETING ENAMEL
Secretory stage
49
PROJECTION in ameloblast at SECRETORY END
Tome's process
50
Tome's process project to the
Basal lamina or membrana preformativa
51
What stage? Amelo extend projections thru MP MP is fragmented and removed ACTIVE DEPOSITION OF ENAMEL MATRIX
Secretory stage
52
What stage? | Ameloblasts lose their TOME's PROCESS
Maturation stage
53
What stage? | Crystals grow in length and diameter at the expense of matrix protein and fluid
Maturation stage
54
Maturation cycle
Ruffled ended ameloblasts | Smooth ended ameloblasts
55
Allows incorporation of inorg matl MINERAL GO DOWN 80% of the maturation cycle
Ruffled ended ameloblasts
56
Permitting EXIT or REMOVAL of PROTEIN & WATER | 20%of maturation cycle
Smooth ended ameloblasts
57
25-30% mineralization | PARTIAL MINERALIZATION OF ENAMEL
Primary calcification
58
2 phases of maturation stage
Primary calcification | Secondary calcification
59
What stage? Laying down of primary epithelial cells Ameloblasts become LOW CELLS (IEE cells) and become a part of REE
Protective stage
60
Cells of REE
