8 stages of tooth development
Initiation
Inductive stage
Bud stage
Cap stage
Bell stage
Apposition
Root formation
PDL, cementum, AV bone development
week 2
-after fertilisation occurs, zygote cell undergoes mitosis and develops into blastocyst=cell that implants itself into endometrium of uterus—develops into bilaminar disc (bi=week 2)
week 3
-week 3 -bilaminar disc transfers into trilaminar disc—ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. Ectoderm sits above mesoderm, ectoderm forms a neural tube (made out of ectoderm cells)-contains neural crest cells, which migrate down towards mesoderm cells and form hybrid cell layer mixture known as ectomesenchyme cells. Neural crest cells assist the whole process
week 4
-week 4-formaiton of 5 key facial features-mouth, upper jaw and lower jaw
Where is oral epithelium derived from?
-ectoderm
Where is ectomesenchyme derived from?
-neural crest
what happens at week6
6-inititation: * First sign seen at week 6 is thickening of embryos oral epithelium forming 2 horseshoe shape bands in maxillary and mandibular. Epithelium and ectomesenchyme separated by primary epithelial band/basement membrane
Initiation stage
-ectoderm cells give rise to oral epithelium cells which thicken to form primary oral epithelium band
-continues to thicken and grows to underlying ectomesenchyme cells
-primary epithelium band is induced to split into dental vestibule and dental lamina
what happens at week 7
- primary oral epithelium subdivides into (lump) vestibular lamina (give rise to oral vestibule) and dental lamina (future dentition)
- Lamina begins to form in midline and progresses/proliferates posteriorly-
-dental laminar is a protrusion inside the lower and upper jaw that will eventually initiate formation of teeth - Dental lamina formed by further thickening and growth of arch shaped epithelial band into ectomesenchyme
- localised thickenings called germs, initiation of tooth formation
By week 8-series of swellings on deep surface of lamina which are early developing tooth germs
- Lamina begins to form in midline and progresses/proliferates posteriorly-
what is orphogenesis
- crown from/shape is determined. Occurs due to differential rates of mitosis and diff cell differentiation times
Gives rise to individual tooth shape e.g. incisor, canine under influence of genetic programming and cell signalling from interactions between epithelial and mesenchymal cells
what is histogenesis
- Differentiation of diff type of cell types which allow mineralised tissue to be formed
histodifferentiation (cells of dental papilla differentiate into odontoblasts (produce dentine). Short columnar cells of enamel epithelium will diff into long columnar cells ameloblasts-form enamel)
Explain induction during initiation
-proteins pass between primary epithelium band and ectomesenchyme cells
-proteins bind onto specific cell receptors and attract specific transcription factors to initiate gene expression–causes formation of 10 placodes to form per jaw
* Bioactive signalling molecules are produced in specific sequence
* pass between epithelium and mesenchyme binding to cell receptors and set off series of intracellular cascades that regulate gene expression and alter cell behaviour
* A key gene expressed is SHH. Forms little packs of proteins that will help cell expression of genes, which will determine type of tooth/root length etc, leads to formation of dental placodes. 10 codes upper and 10 lower—determine structure
* These signals operate throughout development and regulate expression of genes in the responding tissues
what are homeobox genes
genes that specify identity of cells and positioning
what are neural crest cells
form tissues of ectomesenchyme which instruct tooth germ to tooth type.
Explain early bud stage
-7+ weeks
-Dental placodes goes further into ectomesenchyme and makes shape of bud, Germ attached to oral epithelial layer via the dental lamina
-ectomesenchyme cells surround the bud and condense beneath it
-no morpho differentiation/hist
bud stage
week 8
-growing enamel organ ovoid shape
-Density of ectomesenchyme increases and becomes more condensed near bud.
-ectomesenchyme undergoing proliferation-surrounds enamel organ and is growing and condensing
-Dental papilla=condensed ectomesenchyme (gives rise to future dentine and pulp).
-Enamel organ=tooth bud (look at pic)
-bud has differential proliferation-cells in centre proliferate slower leading bud shape to make cap shape
early cap stage
week 10
Early cap stage=histogenesis
-early histogenesis =3 new types of cells: inner enamel epithelium, outer enamel epithelium stellate reticulum
* Cross section of enamel looks like a cap. Enamel organ drags the dental lamina and makes shape of a cap. No morpho yet
Stellate reticulum
-continuous with superficial layer, linked by desmosomes
-form network in enamel organ
-have cushioning and nutrient role for cells of Inner and outer EE
-lies between the stratum intermedium and the outer enamel epithelium.
-protects underlying dental tissues and maintains tooth shape
-will differentiate into cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar process
-supports production of enamel matrix
