25
Q

what are the cell layers in the bell stage

A

stratum intermedium, stellate reticulum, internal enamel epithelium and external enamel epithelium

26
Q

which layer of the enamel bell stage holds sugars (glycogen) which is necessary for cells to develop enamel matrix from?

A

stellate reticulum

27
Q

why can enamel not use the energy coming from the odontoblasts in the dental papilla

A

there is a matrix between them

28
Q

what does matrix formation follow?

A

differentiation of cells

29
Q

what happens at the 12th week IUL?

A

an extension appears on the lingual side of the dental lamina (permanent tooth germ)

30
Q

when does the permanent tooth germ of the 1st primary molar start to develop?

A

16th week as a backwards extension of the dental lamina

31
Q

when is the late bell stage?

A

18th week

32
Q

what does the tooth look like in the late bell stage?

A

well defined crown

33
Q

what happens in the late bell stage?

A

apposition of enamel and dentine

34
Q

which cells differentiate into odontoblasts?

A

dental papilla cells adjacent to IEE

35
Q

what do odontoblasts do?

A

lay down dentine matrix which is later mineralised

36
Q

what happens once dentine formation has begun?

A

the IEE can differentiate into ameloblasts to form enamel

37
Q

what are the steps of dentinogenesis?

A

odontoblast differentiation from IEE, deposition of dentine matrix, unmineralised dentine is predentine, mineralisation of dentine

38
Q

what are the 2 stages of enamel formation?

A

protein matrix deposited and matrix partially mineralised

organic part removed and mineralisation complete

39
Q

what are the stages of ameloblast differentiation?

A

morphogenic, histodifferentiation, secretory (initial), secretory (tomes process), maturative (ruffle-ended), maturative (smooth), protective

40
Q

what happens during ameloblast differentiation stage 1

A

dentine induces IEE cells to differentiate to ameloblasts, they elongate becoming columnar, nucleus migrates to the basal end of the cell

41
Q

what happens during the secretory phase of amelogenesis?

A

ameloblasts become secretory cells, they synthesis and secrete enaml matrix proteins (amelogenins) and the matrix is partially mineralised (30%)

42
Q

what happens during the maturation phase of amelogenesis?

A

matrix proteins removed, mineral content increased to 95%

43
Q

what happens during the protection phase of amelogenesis

A

ameloblasts regress to form a protective layer (reduced enamel epithelium) which is involved in eruption and formation of epithelial attachment

44
Q

what is amelogenesis imperfecta?

A

autosomal recessive hypoplastic hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta

45
Q

what do teeth appear like with amelogenesis imperfecta

A

yellow and difficult to see on radiograph due to loss of mineral content

46
Q

what is dentinogenesis imperfecta

A

dentine is not mineralised to expected level

47
Q

what can occur as a result of dentinogenesis imperfecta

A

tooth wear as there is no base for the enamel

48
Q

what is the root shape defined by?

A

apical growth of the cervical loop

49
Q

with root formation what name does the cervical loop take?

A

Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath

50
Q

how many cells are in HERS

A

2

51
Q

what does HERS do?

A

induce formation of root dentine and then breaks up

52
Q

what are the remains of HERS called?

A

debris of Malassez

53
Q

once HERS is broken down what happens with the mesenchymal cells?

A

they contact the dentine and differentiate into cementoblasts to form cementum

54
Q

which type of fibres are embedded in cementum?

A

Sharpey’s fibres

55
Q

what does the dental follicle produce?

A

cementum, PDL, alveolar bone

56
Q

what does the dental papilla produce?

A

dentine and pulp

57
Q

what are the developmental abnormalities?

A

prenatal, postnatal, inherited, acquired, number, shape, size, structure, eruption

58
Q

what happens with acquired enamel defects?

A

only incisal area formed and not cervical

59
Q

what is gemination

A

teeth that join together as one tooth breaks down to 2

60
Q

what is fusion?

A

separate teeth which join during development

61
Q

what is concresence?

A

when teeth join together by the cementum
