Q

What is the difference between anatomical and clinical cervix?

A

Depends on where the gingiva ends - if it ends at the cervical margin, anatomical = clinical cervix. If it ends higher, clinical cervix is longer than the anatomical cervix

Q

What happens to the primary epithelial band?

A

Thickens as a result of different planes of cell division and grows into the underlying ectomesenchyme - leads to formation of dental lamina and vestibular lamina

Q

As the primary epithelial band thickens, what happens to the surrounding ectomesenchyme?

A

Condenses around area of dental lamina; tooth bud continues to grow and reshape in relation to the ectomesenchyme condensing around it

Q

What eventually happens to the vestibular lamina?

A

Eventually degenerates so that there is no connection between lip and alveolar process (so vestibules form properly)

25
Q

Which stage of tooth development is most complex histologically?

A

Bell

26
Q

First epithelial incursion into ectomesenchyme of the jaw occurs during:

A

Bud stage

27
Q

What components make up bud?

A

Dental lamina (poking finger), oral epithelium towards the top

28
Q

What happens during cap stage?

A

proliferation of epithelium, ectomesenchyme condensation increases around the cap (enamel organ)

29
Q

Successional dental lamina can be found beginning at which stage of tooth development?

A

Cap stage

30
Q

What components can be found during cap stage?

A

Enamel organ, Dental Papilla, Dental follicle, cervical loops

31
Q

Enamel of tooth is derived from:

A

Enamel organ

32
Q

Dental papilla forms:

A

dentin and pulp

33
Q

Dental follicle forms:

A

cementum, periodontal ligament, part of alveolus

34
Q

What cells sit on top of dental papilla

A

Inner enamel epithelium

35
Q

Cells on periphery of ectomesenchyme =

A

outer enamel epithelium

36
Q

Cervical loops

A

Where inner and outer enamel epithelium meet (where HERS roots come from)

37
Q

Where is stratum intermedium found

A

Along the inner enamel epithelium

38
Q

Enamel organ is filled with what cells

A

Stellate reticulum

39
Q

What do stratum intermedium do

A

Regulating transport of ions to ameloblasts so they can secrete the enamel

40
Q

Main change that occurs during Bell stage

A

Change in shape of crown; completed differentiation of the enamel organ

41
Q

Dense condensation inside enamel organ:

A

Enamel knot

42
Q

When does dental lamina begin to degenerate?

A

Autolysis after enamel organ is differentiated

43
Q

Bell stage is marked by:

A

histodifferentiation and morphodifferentiation

44
Q

Basement membrane becomes:

A

DEJ

45
Q

___ is a potential space

A

DEJ (caries can spread out here)

46
Q

If dental lamina cells persist, what happens?

A

General cell islands may persist, may form small eruption cysts that delay eruption of the tooth

47
Q

Internal dental epithelium folds, making it possible to:

A

Recognize shape of future crown pattern

48
Q

Enamel knot is often continuous with:

A

Enamel cord or septum

49
Q

What does enamel knot represent

A

Organizational center that orchestrates cuspal morphogenesis

50
Q

As calcification occurs, the dental papilla becomes:

A

Dental pulp

51
Q

A

Intramembranous bone formation

52
Q

Presence of _____ induces lining up and differentiation of ectomesenchyme along the basement membrane and become odontoblasts

A

Inner enamel epithelium

53
Q

Formation of dentin marks the onset of:

A

Crown stage

Q

Mineralization of dentin induces differentiation of internal dental epithelium into:
