Histology: Tooth Development Flashcards
Name the 6 Stages of Tooth Development and the aproximate time table for when each stage occurs.
- Initiation Stage 6th-7th week of development
- Bud Stage 8th week
- Cap Stage 9th-10th week
- Bell Stage 11th-12th week
Terminal Differentiation
- Apposition Stage varies per tooth
- Maturation Stage varies per tooth
Dental lamina grows deep into the __________
ectomesenchyme
“Before birth, it is called ectomesenchyme. After birth, it is called epithelium”.
tooth development is reffered to as?
odontogenesis
vestibular lamina proliferates into _______, and then degenerates to form a ______.
mesenchyme
cleft=vestibule
Localized proliferations of the ____________ into the surrounding ____________ forms the intitial tooth buds.
dental lamina
mesenchyme
Describe the Bud Stage
- initial stage of definitive tooth development
- round localized cluster of oral epithelium of the dental lamina
Describe the Cap Stage
- beginning of morphogenesis
- oral epithelium forms a cap over a mesenchymal condensation forms the dental papilla
Describe the Bell Stage
- histodifferentiation
- epithelial cells differentiate into ameloblasts
- cells within the dental papilla differentiate into odontoblasts
- eventual shape of crown becomes distinct
dental lamina breaks up into discrete islands
developing tooth is now separate from the overlying oral epithelium
Describe the Termination (Crown) Phase
- final differentiation of odontoblasts and ameloblasts
- secretion of dentin and enamel in apposition
- Hard tissue formation of the teeth
- Dentinogenesis
- Amelogenesis (enamel formation)
- Dental follicle differentiates into alveolar bone forming around the tooth germ
Rooth Sheath development is intitiated in the _______
cervical loop region
Describe Root Formation
- Epithelial cells from the inner and outer dental epithelium proliferate from the cervical loop of the enamel organ to form Hertwig’s Epithelial Root Sheath.
- The root sheath extends down to encompass all but the basal portion of the pulp
- Ectomesenchymal cells of the pulp which face the root sheath differentiate to form odontoblasts
- The odontoblasts will eventually form root dentin.
Epithelial cells from the inner and outer dental epithelium proliferate from the cervical loop of the enamel organ to form ___________.
Hertwig’s Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS)
Root development begins after the enamel and dentin formation has reached the future _________.
cementoenamel junction
What determines the morphological characteristics of the root (number of roots, length, curvature etc)?
HERS (Hertwig’s Epithelial Root Sheath)
Ectomesenchymal cells of the pulp which face the root sheath differentiate to form _______
odontoblasts
