Lecture 10- Periodontium (foster) Flashcards
An extension of enamel organ, transforms from the cervical loop. It is a bilayer of IEE and OEE
hertwigs root sheath
What are the functions of hertwigs sheath
- “architect” of the root defining size and shape (morphogenesis)
- induces root odontoblast differentiation
The … and …. of roots DEPENDS on HERS cell … and…
- size and shap
- migration and proliferation
What are the processes called of HERS that are referred to as tongues that grow toward one another
epithelial interradicular processes
HERS induces …. cells to differentiate to pre-odontoblasts and then odontoblasts
dental papilla cells
…. forms in step with HERS proliferation
root dentin
is HERS permanent or transient?
transient
Some HERS cells become …
epithelial rests of Malassez (ERM)
HERS disintegrates shortly after…
inducing root odontoblast differentiation
… appear as clumps, strands or network of cells in the PDL and are surrounded by a basement membrane. Sometimes are close to the root and sometimes several layers away
ERM (epithelial rests of Malassez)
… can cause cysts. They are speculated to be involved with PDL homeostasis or regeneration but it is not proven
ERM (epithelial rests of Malassez)
root dentin comes from … cells
ectomesenchyme
dentinogenesis of root is largely the same as crown dentin except interacts with IEE of…. instead of….
- HERS
- IEE of enamel organ
Mouse example:
epithelial-mesenchymal signaling in the root starts in … with the … TF which secretes signal called…. (paracrine kind of signal) and that signal goes to …. cells which then induces …. TF and then downstream the…. TF which causes odontoblast differentiation
- HERS
- Smad4
- Sonic hedgehog (SHH)
- papilla
- Gli1
- Nfic
Mouth example:
Without Nfic TF, the dental papilla cannot respond to…. and cells do not differentiate into odontoblasts which causes rootless teeth
HERS signaling
3 development root defects
- rootless teeth
- dilaceration
- taurodontism
