Odontogenesis Flashcards
what is odontogenesis?
formation of tooth tissues from stem cells originating in the ectoderm primary germ layer
when does odontogenesis begin?
6th embryonic week
what two basic tissues that arise from the ectoderm primary germ layer are involved in tooth development?
epithelium and mesenchyme
they contain stem cells that become the cells that form tooth tissues
what are the epithelial stages?
epithelial dental lamina stage
epithelial bud stage
epithelial cap stage
epithelial bell stage (enamel organ)
what is the epithelial stages classified based on?
histologic shapes of the epithelial tissue within a mesenchymal tissue environment
what are tooth germ stage based on?
odontogenic epithelial and mesenchymal tissue combines/ cells of each tissue induced specifically to become formative cells of dentin, enamel, cementum and pulp tissues
what are the three parts of tooth germ?
enemel organ (bell): epithelium
dental papilla: mesenchyme
dental follicle: mesenchyme
primary dental lamina stage
two epithelial invaginations appear in lower anterior region of the lower jaw and later in the same week in the upper jaw
invaginations descend into the underlying mesenchymal tissue (ectomesenchyme) and continue posteriorly within the mesenchyme as continuous epithelial bands
what is the facial band called?
vestibular lamina
what is the lingual band called?
primary dental lamina
fate of vestibular lamina
cell death will occur in the center of the vestibular lamina leaving a space known as the “vestibule”
fate of primary dental lamina
cells arising from the dental laminae (primary and secondary) become the odontogenic epithelial part of a tooth germ
what is an epithelial bud?
epithelial bud stage
cells at the deep end of the dental lamina, where a tooth is destined to form, will develop into epithelial knobs- epithelial bud
surrounded by mesenchymal tissue
timeline of primary buds
6 to 8 weeks in utero- upper arch a little behind
timeline of permanent buds
4 months in utero to 5 years postnatal
