Lect 6 Tooth Development Flashcards
ectoderm (epithelium)
one of three basic germ layers that forms skin, CNS, tooth enamel and many other structures
Endoderm (epithelium)
one of the three basic germ layers that forms sthe gut tube and its derivative
mesoderm
one of the three basic germ layers that forms blood vessels, bone, CT and other structures
Neural crest cells
cells of the neuropithelium that form the tips (crest) of the neural folds and then migrate to form many structures including: spinal ganglia, head and neck CT, dentin, support tissues of tooth and many other structures
ectomesenchyme
embryonic CT that is derived from neural crest cells (will form dentin, cementum, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone)
Primary epithelial band
proliferated epithelium at the site of the future dental arches
Day 37 of development
Day 42-48
Subdivisions form
- Dental lamina
- Vestibular lamina - cells enlarge an then degenerate to form the vestibule of the oral cavity
Oral cavity development key concepts
- the ectoderm is epithelium, it has folded/proliferated into the embryo as the anterior aspect of the oral cavity
- the mesenchyme that has been invaded by neural crest cells is called the ectomesenchyme
- cell signaling occurs throughout tooth development
Dental lamina
each dental lamina develops 10 centers of proliferation,
Stages of tooth development
Initiation stage
Bud Stage
Cap Stage
Bell Stage
Initiation stage
6-7 weeks
primary epithelial band apparent
Bud stage
8-9 weeks
tooth buds grow into underlying ectomesenchyme
- buds are for deciduous teeth
-cells only proliferate, no change in function at this time
Cap Stage
10-11 weeks
deep surface of bud invaginates and becomes cap shaped, ectomes. condensation
-peripheral cells:become cuboidal and columnar shape
-As development continues in enamel organ, matrix has increasing amounts of glycoaminoglycans
-center area becomes hydrated, cells pulled apart and maintain contact via hemidesmisomes
-dental lamina is a sheet rather than a single layer
Bell Stage
12-14 weeks
tooth becomes bell shapes as the undersurface of the enamel cap deepens to form 4 recognizable regions: outer enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum, stratum intermedium, inner dental epithelium
enamel organ
=enamel
epithelial ingrowth
avascular
Dental papilla
dentin
condensed ectomesenchyme.
Vascularized during the Cap stage
