60

invagination of ectoderm (oral epithelium) into the mesenchyme

62
Q

The dental lamina forms during what tooth development stage?

A

induction stage

63
Q

On a prepared slide, an early dental lamina looks like…

A

a line of cells

64
Q

A

stellate reticulum

65
Q

The cells of the dental papilla end up making the…

A

Pulp and odontoblasts

66
Q

The dental follicle (dental sac) ends up making the…

A

67
Q

What is the first stage where ALL of the layers of the enamel organ can be differentiated?

compress layer of flat cuboidal cells, supportive function

72

What does the cervical loop turn into in adult teeth?

75
Q

76
Q

What structure determines the outline of the root dentin and # of roots.

A

Hertwig’s Root Sheath (fusion and extension of OEE and IEE)

Q

In teeth with multiple roots, Hertwig’s Root Sheath creates ______ that divide the pulpal tissue into multiple roots.

78
Q

Why is calcification uniform in enamel but not in dentin?

A

Alkaline phosphatase calcifies enamel matrix as it is secreted from ameloblasts. Alkaline phosphatase is released from odontoblast tubules to calcify matrix but it is done unevenly.

A

Mantle dentin

81
Q

What kinds of collagen are found in the mantle dentin?

Type I and Type III

82
Q

What makes up the Primary Cuticle?

A

reduced ameloblasts and remaining cells of the outer enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum and stratum intermedium

83
Q

Difference between adodontia, hypodontia, and oligodontia

A

Adontia: no tooth development
Hypodontia: lack of development of one or more teeth
Oligodontia: lack of development of six or more teeth

84
Q

What is the most common manifestation of supernumerary teeth?

A

Mesodens: in between 8 and 9

85
Q

What is odontoma? When does it start?

A

small fragments of tooth structure consisting of dentin, enamel and cementum. Starts in initiation stage

86
Q

What is compound odontoma?

A

multiple small tooth like structures

87
Q

What is dilaceration?

A

abnormal angulation or bend in root

88
Q

Difference between gemination and fusion?

A

Gemination: supernumerary tooth fused with a normal tooth.
Fusion: normal tooth fused with normal tooth

89
Q

When does gemination start?

90
Q

What is concrescence? When does it start?

A

union of teeth via cementum. Occurs during the apposition stage

91
Q

When does tubercle formation begin?

A

During cap stage. Gives tooth an extra cusp

92
Q

A

separation of dental follicle from crown of unerupted tooth. Occurs during enamel organ formation. **Know it is a dentigerous cyst b/c it is attached at CEJ

20% of all jaw cysts
