Eruption - Cap Stage Flashcards
What two processes occur during the cap stage?
Proliferation
Differentiation
When does the cap stage occur?
During the 9th and 10th week
What are the three types of differentiation?
- Cytodifferentiation
- Histodifferentiation
- Morphogenesis
What structure is formed during the cap stage that will eventually form the enamel?
Enamel Knot
What determines the shape of the tooth enamel?
Innermost outline of the enamel knot
What is the origin of the enamel knot?
Ectodermal (oral epithelium)
What does gags stand for?
Glycosaminoglycans
What are glycosaminoglacans?
The desomosome junction that attracts water into developing teeth.
During morphogenesis, what does the enamel knot form?
Enamel knot forms Enamel organ which forms Enamel
During morphogenesis what does the dental papilla form?
Dentin and Pulp
During morphogenesis what does the dental sac form?
Cementum, PDL, and Alveolar bone
What is tooth germ?
Successive dental lamina to creat the permanent tooth bud
What does the basement membrane separate?
Enamel organ and dental papilla.
What occurs during the cap stage?
Successional dental lamina forms permanent teeth.
During the cap stage where do permanent anterior teeth develop?
Lingually
