Partial or complete failure of the intermaxillary segment & maxillary process to fuse- failure of fusion btw the max process w/ the lateral borders of the center portion of the upper lip
Week 8
How do cleft palates form?
Premaxilla and/or secondary palate fail to fuse w/ nasal septum
And/or failure of premaxilla to fuse w/ secondary palate
Characteristics of inner enamel epithelium
Concave inner layer of the enamel organ
Single cell layer
When do stellate reticulum form?
Star shaped core cells form during the cap stage
Pushes apart OEE and IEE and helps form cap shape
Collapses during apposition
What is the function of stratum intermedium?
Transports nutrients to pre-ameloblasts during the apposition stage
Flat layer of cells between stellate reticulum and IEE
Bell stage
What does the cervical loop give rise to?
Gives rise to the cervix of the tooth–> future CEJ
Inferior circumference of the cap– junction of OEE and IEE
Formation of membrane preformative and DEJ
Basement membrane renamed membrane preformative during apposition
MP disintegrates after attachment of odontoblasts and ameloblasts
Mantle dentin and aprismatic enamel form the DEJ
What does HERS/epithelial cylinder form from?
The cervical loop
What does the epithelial diaphragm form from?
Forms from HERS inferior rim folding medially
Determines shape, size and # of roots
At the site of the apical foramen
When do cell rests of Malassez form?
WHen HERS breaks down, initiating cementum formation
What are accessory canals?
Parts of HERS break down too soon, before root dentin forms
These breaks become innervated with BV and nerves
Which germ layer does dental lamina form from?
Basal layer of oral epithelium
Derived from ectoderm
Lines stomodeum
When does the dental papilla form?
During cap stage from ectomesenchyme tissue
Gives rise to dentin and pulp
Fills concavity of the cap
Determines what type the tooth will be (inductive capabilities)
Cap stage associated cells and structures
Cells: Stellate reticulum, OEE, IEE, mesenchymal cells
Structures: Enamel knot***, cervical loop, dental papilla, dental follicle
Bell stage associated cells and histological changes
Cells: stratum intermedium, preameloblasts, preodontoblasts
Histological changes: OEE squamous to low cuboidal, IEE squamous to tall columnar (form preameloblasts). Dental papilla increase in size, dental lamina starts disintegrating forming cell rests of Serres
Epithelial-mesenchyme interaction
Dental papilla stimulates IEE to form preameloblasts- determines morphology
