Lecture 1 Flashcards
what are the other names of periodontium?
attachment apparatus
supporting tissues of the tooth
what are the functions of the periodontium?
attach the tooth to bony tissue of the jaw
maintain integrity of masticatory mucosa
when does the periodontium development occur?
early in the embryonic phase
occurs along with tooth development
where do the cells of periodontium originate from?
neural crest (neural tube)
what happens to the cells of the periodontium?
cells from the neural crest migrate into the first branchial arch
what do the cells of periodontium form?
ectomesenchyme beneath stomadeal epithelium
what does the stomadeal epithelium do?
releases factors which initiate epithelial ectomesenchymal interactions
what do the dental lamina form?
bud stage, cap stage, bell stage
what happens to the ectomesenchyme?
ectomesenchyme condenses around dental organ and forms the dental papilla and dental follicle
what does the dental papilla do?
give rise to dentin and pulp
determines the shape and form of tooth
what does the dental follicle do?
gives rise to periodontium
what forms first in embryogenesis?
crown forms first
what does the outer and inner enamel epithelium proliferate apically and form?
Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath
what forms dentin?
odontoblast
what does the inner cells of root sheath secrete?
enamel related proteins (amelogenins)
what happens to the root sheath?
fenestrates
what contacts the root surface?
ectomesenchymal cells of folicle
what happens to the ectomesenchymal cells of follicle?
amelogin induces differentiation into cementoblast and cementoid forms
what does the fibers of cementoid intermingle with?
immature dentinal fibers
what are the periodontal ligaments formed by?
fibroblast
where do the fibroblast differentiate from?
dental follicle lateral to the cementum
where do the osteoblasts differentiate from?
dental follicle ectomesenchymal cells
what happens to the ectomesenchymal cells?**
remain in mature periodontium and participate in turnover
what is the definition of gingiva?
part of the masticatory mucosa which covers the alveolar process and surrounds the cervical portion of the teeth
