OHIST_Tooth Development (prior to dentinogenesis) Flashcards
when does the initiation of tooth development begin and what is the name of the thickened band where this will occur
36 days/ primary epithelial band
what are the 2 subdivisions of the primary epithelial band
dental lamina and vestibular lamina
dental lamina appears as a thickening of oral epithelium near the condensation of what type of tissue:
ectomesenchyme
what is the name of the lamina from which the permanent teeth will develop?
successional lamina
what week of gestation does the dental lamina begin to function and when does this functional state end?
6th week –> 15th years old
though tooth development is a continuous process - what are the 3 stages it can be divided into
1) bud
2) cap
3) bell
what is the general anatomy of a “bud stage”? what type of tissue cells are packed closely beneath and around the buds?
bud: rounded growth of epithelium / mesenchymal cells packed below & around.
bud stage: what shape cells are around the edges of the bud? in the center of the bud?
low columnar / polygonal
during cap: what type of cells aggregate to form the dental papilla?
ectomesenchymal cells (clustered “deep to” the enamel organ).
what will the dental papilla eventually form?
dentin and pulp
during which part of which stage does histodifferentiation begin?
end of cap stage
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?
this ectomesenchymal condensation is caused by a lack of extracellular matrix secretion by the cells…. preventing separation
what is the name of the epithelial outgrowth that will eventually for the enamel
enamel organ
the peripheral cells adjacent to the inner dental epithelium will eventually enlarge and differentiate into what specific cell type
odontoblasts
there is also condensed ectomesenchymal tissue that surrounds the entire papilla and enamel organ… what is the name of this ad what 2 support structures will it eventually give rise to?
the dental SAC (dental follicle) / rise to periodontal ligament and cementum
what is the name given to the the extension of dental lamina that is connected to the enamel organ?
Lateral Lamina
when sectioning developing dental tissue, there is an artifact produced because the enamel organ is a sheet of proliferating cells and contains a concavity filled with ectomesenchyme - What is the name given to this space?
enamel niche
the inner and outer dental epithelium will eventually be organized into a curvy landmark called the:
cervical loop
what is the name of the densely packed clusters of nondividing epithelial cells projecting form the inner enamel epithelium into the dental papilla? they are visible during the cap stage of molars. what do scientists currently believe its role to be?
enamel knot / organizational center for cusp development
what is the term used to constitute the structure that encompasses the enamel organ, the dental papilla, and the dental follicle?
dental organ OR tooth germ
enamel knot precursor cells are first noted by expression of what gene? (letter/number)
p21
the enamel knot and enamel cord are temporary. they disappear before enamel formation starts. what is their function thought to be (besides the center for cusp development)
possibly a reservoir full of dividing cells for the growing enamel organ. (ODD statement in our notes - slide 17)
since histodifferentiation is said to begin in the end of the cap stage…. it also continues into the bell stage. during the bell stage another “fancy named” process begins. what is it?
morphodifferentiation
what 2 types of cells “define” themselves during histodifferentiation?
ameloblasts and odontoblasts
