Q

on a cellular level - what is happening in order for this ectomesenchyme to “condense” - i.e. how are they forming this glob and not pushing away from each other?

A

this ectomesenchymal condensation is caused by a lack of extracellular matrix secretion by the cells…. preventing separation

during the bell stage, the enamel organ is further divided into more layers - now 4 - what are they (from outer to inner)

A

1) outer dental epithelium
2) stellate reticulum
3) stratum intermedium
4) inner dental epithelium

27
Q

bell stage: the inner dental epithelium are short columnar cells that border the dental papilla. these cells will eventually become what specific type of “blast” cell

A

ameloblasts - they will form the enamel by differentiating into TALL columnar cells

28
Q

bell stage: These same inner dental epithelial cells influence the underlying mesenchymal cells in the dental papilla - causing these dental papilla cells to differentiate into what “blast” cells

A

odontoblasts

29
Q

bell stage: the outer dental epithelium is made up of what shape cells and what is their function?

A

cuboidal / they function to organize capillary network to bring nutrition to the ameloblasts. details: in preparation to form enamel, at end of bell stage, the ODE is laid in folds. the folds have dental sac mesenchyme that extends little papilla in between the folds. these papilla contain the capillaries that will support the metabolic activity of the avascular enamel

30
Q

stellate reticulum:

1) what do the look like /
2) what do they secrete /
3) what does this secretion cause /
4) what is their purpose
5) where is this cell layer located

A

1) star shaped with processes
2) secrete glycosaminoglycans
3) attract water, swell cells, which pushes them apart
4) cushion like to support and protect delicate enamel organ
5) btw outer and inner dental epith.

31
Q

stratum intermedium:

1) where is this cell layer located
2) what enzymatic activity is prominent in this layer
3) what important process is this enzyme needed for (i.e what process do they assist)

A

1) btw inner dental epith AND stellate reticulum (thin dark layer of cells)
2) alkaline phosphatase
3) AP is needed for calcification - it assists the ameloblasts of the inner dental epith to form enamel

32
Q

the basement membrane that separates the enamel organ and the dental papilla just prior to dentin formation is called the:

A

membrana preformativa - this will for the future DEJ - NOTE: Dr. Raj said this info was “just for boards”.

33
Q

the cervical loop is formed by the “joining/meeting” of what 2 layers of cells and it is critical for the formation of what tooth structure?

A

formed where the inner and outer dental epith. meet. critical for root formation.

34
Q

Bell stage: what is the term used to describe a pattern of enamel knot that extends btw the inner and outer dental epith.

A

enamel cord (dr raj does not know the significance of this yet) - slide 24

35
Q

bell stage: the dental lamina and the lateral lamina will disintegrate and separate away from the oral epithelium However, sometimes these epith cells will persist. What are they called (2 diff names)? Also, these can form cysts (eruption cysts). what are the 3 clinically significant things that these cysts can result in.

A

Epithelial pearls OR cell rests of Serre /

1) the cysts can prevent eruption
2) form odontomas (tumors)
3) form supernumery teeth

36
Q

crown pattern determination occurs during bell stage by folding of the inner dental epithelium. the Cessation of ___________ within this layer of epith is what determines the shape of the tooth

A

mitotic activity

37

39
Q

nerve fibers do not enter what part of the dental follicle

A

the enamel organ

40
Q

tumors of odontogenic epithelium arising from cell rests of enamel organ OR from the developing enamel organ are called what:

A

ameloblastomas - histologically resemble enamel organ BUT have loosely arranged stellate-reticulum-like-cells

41
Q

tumor of the jaw from odontogenic ectomesenchyme

A
