What is the name of the epithelium that begins the oral cavity in the developing human head?
odontogenic epithelium
What does the primary epithelial band give rise to?
- dental lamina
- vestibular lamina
What are the characteristics of the primary epithelial band?
- Horseshoe shaped
- Correspond to future dental arches
_____ Is Expressed In The Epithelium And _____ In The Mesenchyme
Shh
Pax9
What happens during initiation of tooth development?
- Placode formation/Epithelial thickening.
- Epithelial outgrowth into the mesenchyme
The neural crest mesenchyme induces the oral ectoderm to become the…
dental lamina
Initial odontogenic potential lies in the epithelium subsequently shifts to _________
mesenchyme
Does the epithelium change during the bud stage?
NO
What genes are involved in placode formation during bud stage?
Shh, Lef-1 and Eda-Edar
What happens during the bud stage?
- Shh, Lef-1 and Eda-Edar involved in placode formation
- Mesenchyme beneath starts to condense by the factors secreted by the epithelium
- Cross-talk between the epithelium and the mesenchyme
