OralHisto Midterms Exam Flashcards
what is the process of enamel formation called
amelogenesis
protein in not fully matured enamel
amelogenin
represents the short dentinal tubules near the DEJ
enamel spindle
when does amelogenesis occur
apposition
cap stage week
9-10
radiograph of enamel
radiopaque
chemical properties of dentin
65%-75% inorganic
30%-35% organic
formative tissue of dentin
dental papilla
future DEJ
basement membrane
produces periodontium
dental sac
stage where ameloblasts form the primary enamel cuticle as the first protective covering of the enamel;
formation of the ree
protective
wavelike features
perikymata
what is the crystalline structural unit of enamel
enamel rod/prism
produces the future dentin and pulp
dental papilla
oral epithelium produces ?
- dental lamina
- vestibular lamina
what has the longest developmental period for any set of organs in the body
teeth
final stage of odontogenesis
apposition
labial and buccal to the dental lamina ; develop independently
vestibular lamina
there are four layers of the enamel organ that fuse to form?
Reduced Enamel Epithelium
(REE)
protein in matured enamel
enamelin
differentiates into odontoblast
(dentin-secreting cells)
outer peripheral cells
small dark brushes with their bases near the DEJ
enamel tufts
dentin that is formed after the completion of the apical foramen and continues to form throughout the life of the tooth
secondary dentin
controlled cellular growth & accumulation of by-products
proliferation
