Q

What is the overall timeline for periodontal development? (6)

A
  1. initiation of root dentogenesis precedes periodontal development
  2. HERS separates from root dentin
  3. Osteoblasts, cementoblasts, PDL fibroblasts differentiate to their appropriate locations.
  4. Cementoblasts & osteoblasts secrete their organic matrix which is type I collagen.
  5. Then the PDL fibroblasts secrete their organic collagen matrix.
  6. The organic matrices of the cementum and bone mineralize AROUND the ends of the PDL fiber securing it to the bone and cementum!

Q

What PDL developmental steps happen before eruption?

A
  • Collagen fiber bundles added apically

- Orientation of collagen fibers bundles change. oblique –> horizontal.

Q

Describe Primary Cementum…

A
  • First formed
  • Mainly acellular

Q

Describe Secondary Cementum…

A
  • Formed second after at least 1/2 of root is formed around the time of eruption.
  • Mainly cellular
  • Apical 2/3 of root
  • Overlaps primary cementum in the middle 1/3 of tooth.

Q

As you move coronally, what happens to the fiber fringe?

A

fibers get longer indication further maturation, however the dentin remain unmineralized which allows the collagen fibers of theses two tissues to intermingle further.
*Eventually the dentin mineralizes enclosing the fiber fringe ends within the mineralized dentin matrix.

Q

Firm attachment between cementum and dentin is due to the fact that…..

Q

What happens to the cementoblasts of the primary cementum?

A

They DONT get entrapped in the ECM they are making, instead they retreat toward location of future PDL and become part of it.

Q

The Adult PDL contains remnants of HERS called _________.

A

Epithelial rest of Mallasez

17
Q

What happens to the cementoblasts of the secondary cementum?

A

Due to the rapid formation of the secondary cementum, they are trapped in the ECM they make.

18
Q

Cells for the epithelial components of the peridontium arise from ________.

A

Epithelial precursors

19
Q

Sulcular epithelium arises from _________.

A

Embryonic oral epithelium

20
Q

Junctional epithelium arises from _____.

A

reduced enamel epithelium

21
Q

All connective tissue components of the peridontium including the PDL, bony lining of the tooth socket and cementum arise from the ________.

A

Dental follicle

22
Q

The cementum forming cells are derived from ____________.

A

Both Dental follicle and HERS

23
Q

What are the 3 molecules implicated in cementogenesis?

A
  1. growth factors = Implicated in Cementoblast Induction
  2. Transcription factors = implicated in cementoblast Differentiation
  3. Extra cellular matrix Molecules = implicated in Cementogenesis.
24
Q

What are Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP’s)?

A

secreted growth factors that have been implicated in serving as an inducing signal that itially triggers cementoblast differentiation.
*Binds collagen

25
Q

What is the downstream transcription factor to BMP?

A

RunX = thought to be important in up regulating proteins that characterize differentiated cementoblasts.
*Binds Collagen
