Tooth development Flashcards
first sign of tooth development
6-7 weeks
in utero
when do descidusous teeth begin to calcify
13-20
weeks in utero
By_______weeks in utero all deciduous teeth
have begun to calcify
By 18-20 weeks in utero all deciduous teeth
have begun to calcify
Deciduous teeth erupt at
6-30 months
• First part of tooth to calcify is the
crown
stages of tooth development
I. Crown Formation: 1. Initiation 2. Bud Stage 3. Cap Stage 4. Bell Stage 5. Enamel and dentin formation
II. Root Formation
III. Supporting Structures
NC mesenchyme in tooth development
NCC will migrate to PA1, contributes to the mesenchyme of tooth development/ odontogenic epithelium btwn the maxillary and mandibular processes
where do the max incisors form
medial nasal process
Embryonic Oral Cavity: Internal Surface of Upper & Lower Jaw
what structure is here?
gives rise to?
Primary Epithelial Band
Horseshoe shaped
Correspond to future dental arches
Gives rise to
Dental lamina
Vestibular lamina
Early Patterning During Tooth Development, determines?
pattern of signaling molecules/ pathways will determine tooth morphology
Shh and PAX9 expression
Shh Is Expressed In The Epithelium And Pax9 In The Mesenchyme Where The Tooth
Bud Would Form
initiation stage
placode?
mesenchyme?
initial odontogenic potential? shifts?
Placode formation – Epithelial thickening.
Epithelial outgrowth into the mesenchyme
Initial odontogenic potential lies in the epithelium subsequently shifts to mesenchyme –the neural crest mesenchyme induces the oral ectoderm to become the dental lamina
how does the dental lamina form? what else forms
epithelium invaginates into the mesenchyme, vestibular lamina forms too
bud stage epithelial changes? signaling molecules of placode formation? mesenchyme at this time? cross talk? where is the odontogenic potential
Epithelial cells show no major changes
Shh, Lef-1 and Eda-Edar involved in placode formation (ectoderm thickening)
Mesenchyme beneath starts to condense by the factors secreted by the epithelium
Cross-talk between the epithelium and the mesenchyme
Odontogenic potential in the epithelium
Early Cap Stage
epithelium will? mesenchyme? looks like?
tooth germ forms what structures?
transition from bud stage regulated by?
Epithelium proliferates. Mesenchyme continue to condense. Looks like “Cap” sitting on a ball of
mesenchyme
Tooth germ forms:
Enamel organ – Enamel of the tooth
Dental papilla – Dentin (outer) and pulp (inner)
Bud to cap stage transition is regulated by signaling molecules and transcription factors
