Q

what happens during initiation?

A

Q

what happens during the cap stage?

A

the enamel organ begins to form, which is composed of a single layer of cells at the convex region (outer enamel epithelium, OEE) and the concave region (inner enamel epithelium, IEE). Between the two epithelial layers is loosely arranged stellate reticulum. Some cells of the stellate reticulum become densely packed near the IEE and are known as the enamel knot. The dental papilla is composed of condensed ectomesenchymal cells located within the concavity of the enamel organ. The dental follicle (dental sac) is the capsule-like encasing of mesenchyme surrounding the enamel organ.

Q

what happens during the bell stage?

A

morphodifferentiation and histodifferentiation of specific cells. the enamel organ is now well-defined and composed of the following: OEE (outermost layer of the enamel organ), IEE (innermost layer of the enamel organ), stratum intermedium (forms directly lateral to the IEE), stellate reticulum (becomes more sparsely arranged due to increased proteoglycan synthesis). the enamel knot disappear. The cells in the IEE become tall and columnar (now called preameloblasts) first. The cells of the dental papilla closest to the IEE become tall and columnar (now called preodontoblasts) after the preameloblasts are formed. The dental lamina disintegrates.

Q

What happens during the appositional stage?

A

the reduced enamel epithelium (REE) forms when the stellate reticulum collapses, merging OEE with IEE. Odontoblasts secrete dentin matrix first. Ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix after dentin is first formed. Root formation begins. The dental papilla forms the pulp tissue. The dental follicle forms cementum, alveolar bone, and PDL.

Q

what happens during root formation?

A

Begins at the cervical loop (where the OEE and IEE join) after enamel is first formed. As the cervical loop elongates, HERS is formed, which shapes the roots and ultimately surrounds the majority of the dental papilla. As radicular dentin is formed HERS begins to disintegrate, leaving behind patches of epithelial cells called epithelial rests of Malassez. The collapse of HERS enables ectomesenchymal cells of dental follicle to contact dentin and differentiate into the formative cells of periodontium: cementoblasts, osteoblasts, and fibroblasts.

Q

What happens during eruption?

A

As the tooth erupts into the oral cavity, the reduced enamel epithelium (REE) fuses with the oral epithelium, forming the dentogingival junction (epithelial attachment). This later migrates apically along the tooth into its normal position in which the most apical cells of the JE are at the CEJ. A delay in the apical migration is known as delayed (altered) passive eruption.
