Q

What is the function of stellate reticulum in the bell stage?

keeping storage of nutrients for tissues
comprises of glycoaminosglycans (attract water) which allows space for developing crown

Q

At what time does an extension appear on the lingual side of the dental lamina - this is the dental lamina for the adult tooth?

A

12 weeks

27
Q

At what time does the 1st permanent molar germ develop as a backwards extension of the dental lamina?

A

16 weeks

28
Q

What is the fifth stage of tooth development?

A

matrix secretion (late bell)

29
Q

At what time does matrix secretion (late bell stage) occur?

A

18 weeks

30
Q

In what stage does the positioning of enamel and dentine begin?

A

late bell stage within matrix secretion

31
Q

At what stage do cells become specialised?

A

late bell stage within matrix secretion

32
Q

What do dental papilla cells (adjacent to the internal enamel epithelium) differentiate into?

A

odontoblasts

33
Q

What do odontoblasts do?

A

lay down dentine matrix which is later mineralised (predefine)

34
Q

What do ameloblasts do?

A

form enamel

35
Q

What is the process of dentinogenesis?

A

Odontoblast differentiation from dental papilla cells near IEE
Deposition of dentine matrix (mainly collagen)
This unmineralised dentine is predentine
Mineralisation of dentine (hydroxyapatite)

36
Q

What do IEE cells differentiate into?

A

ameloblasts

37
Q

What are the 2 phases of formation of enamel?

A

1- Protein matrix deposition (30% mineralised matrix

2- Framework established, organic part removed, mineralisation is complete

38
Q

What happens during the differentiation stage of amelogenesis?

A

IEE cells elongate becomes columnar and the nucleus moves to the basal end to become ameloblasts

39
Q

What happens during the secretory stage of amelogenesis?

A

ameloblasts secrete and synthesise matrix proteins form the crystallites and rods (no mineralisation/hydroxyapatite)

40
Q

What happens during the maturation phase?

A

proteins are removed, mineral content is increased

41
Q

What happens during protection stage in ameloblasts?

A

ameloblasts regress (become smaller) to form a protective layer around enamel involved in eruption and epithelial attachment

42
Q

What is the 5th stage in tooth development?

A

root formation

43
Q

What must be completed before the root begins to form?

A

crown

44
Q

Where do the EEE and IEE meet?

A

cervical loop

45
Q

What does migration of the cervical loop map out?

A

crown shape

46
Q

What is the root shape defined by in root formation?

A

The length, curvature, thickness, and number of roots are all dependent on the inner root sheath cells.

47
Q

What is the apical growth (proliferation of cervical root cells) of cervical root known as?

A

hertwig’s epithelial root sheath

48
Q

What does the Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath induce?

A

formation of root dentine

49
Q

What is ‘debris of Malassez’?

A

epithelial cells on the PDL that are remains of HERS -may develop into cyst

50
Q

What are cementoblasts?

A

differentiated ectomesenchymal cells from the follicle

51
Q

cells surrounding the sides of the enamel organ (dental lamina is at the bottom)

63
Q

What is the role of the epithelial cell rests of malassez?

A

remnants of hertwigs epithelial root sheath, that allow dental follicle cells to come into contact with the root dentine and to differentiate into cementoblasts
