tooth development 1:) Flashcards
primary dentition
5 teeth 2 incisors 1 canine 2 motors tooth morphology different between jaws
permanent dentition
8 teeth 2 incisors 1 canine 2 premolars 3 molars
tooth development stages
initiation
morphodifferentiation
cytodifferentiation
initiation stage
starts tooth formation
correct number in correct location in jaw
morphodifferentiation stage
formation in correct shape
cytodifferentiation stage
differentiation of cells to produce specific dental tissue
what is the fist sign of tooth deelopment
primary epithelial band
thickened band of ectoderm along each dental arch
when does the primary epithelial band appear
7 weeks post fertilisation after maxillary arch formed
what gives rise to Md/Mx
pharyngeal arch
what does the primary epithelial band do
tooth buds grow downwards into dental lamina to form buds
induces condensation of ectomesenchymal cells beneath the band
cells gather round and become denser due to signals from ecotoderm
what happens after condensation of ectomesenchymal cells
epithelual band divides into dental laminar and vestibular lamina
continue to proliferate
the superficial cells of vestibular lamina degenerate to form a vestibule/sulcus
what are signalling molcules and what are they expressed by
BMPs and FGFs
ectoderm
what do the growth factors interact with
first arch ectomesenchyme to form the correct number of tooth buds in each quadrant
chronological order from ectoderm formation
- Ectoderm thickens to give primary epithelial band
- Epithelium proliferates and grows into the lamina propria underneath
- Underneath the band are ecto-mesenchyme cells which condense (get thicker)
originate from the neural crest - Epithelial band divides and grows downwards into 2 sections
Dental lamina
Vestibular lamina:
proliferates down, superfial cells then degenerate to form a vestibule/sulcus (gutter on lingual and buccal side)
what does the epithelial band divide into
dental lamina
vestibular lamina
where does the ectoderm originate from
facial processes
what do mesenchymal cells originate from
neural crest
what do the ectoderm and mesenchymal cells undergo
epithelial mesenchymal interactios to differentiate Into particular cells
what does the oral ectoderm form
teeth in combination with first arch ectomesenchyme
what is DLX gene coding
expression of homeobox genes at specific parts of the arch defines each type of tooth
