112
Q

What is the main physiological process during the bud stage?

A

Proliferation (controlled cellular growth).

113
Q

What happens during the bud stage?

A

Growth of the dental lamina into a bud that penetrates the growing ectomesenchyme.

114

What is the result of proliferation during the bud stage?

A

Tooth bud, 10 on each arch.

115
Q

What happens to the ectomesenchyme and basement membrane during the bud stage?

Q

What does the tooth bud turn into?

A

Tooth germ.

117
Q

What is anodontia?

A

The absence of a single tooth during the initiation stage.

A

A structure or tissue in the earliest stage of development.

122
Q

What is developed during the cap stage?

A

A tooth germ, which includes the enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac.

123
Q

What is the enamel organ in a tooth germ? what will it become?

A

The deepest part of a tooth bud that is cap-shaped; it will become the enamel.

124

The secretory stage during which enamel, dentin, and cementum are secreted in successive layers, resulting in appositional growth.

148
Q

What is the maturation stage?

A

The final stage of odontogenesis when matrices of hard dental tissue types fully mineralize.

149
Q

When does primary dentition develop?

A

During the embryonic and fetal period, approximately 6 weeks.

150
Q

When does permanent dentition mostly develop?

A

During the fetal period.

151
Q

What organ has the longest development period?

A

Teeth.

152
Q

What types of interaction are involved in the initiation of tooth development?

A

Interaction of ectoderm and mesenchyme.

153
Q

What are the final stages of odontogenesis?

A
  1. Apposition stage: secretory stage where enamel, dentin, and cementum are secreted in successive layers.
  2. Maturation stage: final stage when matrices of hard dental tissue types fully mineralize.
154
Q

Which organ has the longest development period?

A

Teeth.

155
Q

What two types of embryonic cells interact in tooth development?

A

Oral epithelial cells that line the stomodeum and mesenchymal cells.

156
Q

Why is the dental lamina important in tooth development?

A
  1. Blueprint
  2. Initiates development
  3. Directs tooth germ formation
  4. Forms the enamel organ.
157
Q

What is microdontia?

A

Abnormally small teeth during the budding stage.

158
Q

What are peg lateral and peg molar?

A

Small teeth.

159
Q

What is dens in dente?

A

Tooth within a tooth, enamel organ abnormally invaginated during the cap stage.

160
Q

What is gemination?

A

During the cap stage, a single tooth germ attempts to divide into two, appearing as two crowns joined together by a notched incisal area.

161
Q

What is fusion?

A

During the cap stage, the union of two adjacent tooth germs.

162
Q

What is enamel dysplasia?

A

Faulty development of enamel during the maturation stage.

163
Q

What is enamel hypoplasia?

A

Reduction of enamel matrix quantity during the maturation stage.

164
Q

What is enamel hypocalcification?

A

Reduction in the quality of enamel maturation during the maturation stage.

165
Q

What is amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

Thin or no enamel during the maturation stage.

166
Q

What do enamel organs turn into and what do they secrete?

A

Enamel organs turn into ameloblasts, which secrete enamel.

167
Q

What does the dental papilla turn into and what does it secrete?

A

Dental papilla turns into odontoblasts, which secrete dentin and pulp.

168
Q

What surrounds the enamel organ and dental papilla?

A

Dental sac.

169
Q

What does the dental sac secrete?

A

Cementoblasts, which secrete cementum.

170
Q

What is the cervical loop responsible for?

A

Root development.

171
Q

in terms of root development, What is the role of the stellate reticulum?

A

Root dentin.

172
Q

What does the Hertwig epithelial root sheath do?

A

Shapes the roots and induces dentin formation.

173
Q

How does the cervical loop give rise to the Hertwig epithelial root sheath?

A

The cervical loop grows deeper into the surrounding ectomesenchyme of the dental sac, elongating and moving away from the newly completed crown area.

174
Q

Where are rests of mallesez formed from?

A

Formed from the disintegration of the root sheath and root dentin.

175
Q

Where are the rests of Malassez located and what do they do?

A

Located in the mature PDL, they are involved in repairing and regeneration.

176
Q

What is cementogenesis?

A

**Appositional **growth of the cementum in the root area.

177
Q

What is amelogenesis?

A

Process of enamel formation on teeth.

178
Q

What are preameloblasts?

A

Immature cells that differentiate into ameloblasts.

179
Q

What are the key functions of preameloblasts?

A
  1. Cell proliferation: division
  2. Differentiation into mature ameloblasts
  3. Enamel matrix secretion.
