A

The most cervical portion of the enamel organ that consists of IEE and OEE only. In the CEJ area (root development)

46
Q

What is responsible for root development?

A

Cervical loop which also forms HERS

47
Q

What is the function of the OEE?

A

A protective barrier for the rest of the enamel organ during enamel production

48
Q

A

The tip of the ameloblast where enamel matrix squirts out

49
Q

A

At cusp tips and moves cervically

50
Q

A

Amelogenesis / dentin

51

Mesenchyme, which becomes CT for all tooth components except enamel, skeletal, and muscular)

52
Q

What does the mesenchyme form?

A

Cementum, dentin, pulp***

53
Q

Where do neural crest cells originate from?

A

Union of two adjacent tooth buds.

Cap stage

76
Q

What is a tubercle and when is the stage of misfire?

A

Extra cusp due to effects on enamel organ.

Cap stage

77

A

Union of root structure of 2 or more teeth by cementum.

80
Q

What is amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

type of enamel dysplasia; hereditary etiology; very thin enamel that chips easily or no enamel at all

81
Q

What is dentin dysplasia?

A

faulty development of dentin (less common than enamel dysplasia)

82
Q

What is dentinogenesis imperfecta?

A

hereditary basis; results in blue-gray or brown teeth with an opalescent sheen; enamel is normal, but chips due to lack of support from dentin
