28
Q

In which dental hard tissues is regeneration after eruption possible?
Not possible? What happens instead?

A

Dentin, cementum, alveolar process
Not possible in enamel - only remineralization

29
Q

Which dental hard tissues have vascularity?
Innervation?

A

Vasculature: alveolar process
Innervation: possible in dentin (within dentinal tubule), alveolar process

30
Q

What is the basic principle of induction?

A

Process where one tissue directs the development of an adjacent tissue
Mediated by cell contact or factors released by inducing tissue
Can be serial and reciprocal

31
Q

What does the primary epithelial band give rise to?

A

Dental lamina (tooth)
Vestibular lamina (between cheek and teeth)

32
Q

When is the primary epithelial band present?

A

37 days

33
Q

The epithelial band is the result of _____ and change of __________

A

Mitosis, orientation of mitotic cells

34
Q

What structure can be useful in determining that we are looking at the mandibular arch?

A

Meckel’s cartilage

35
Q

Meckel’s cartilage is part of the ________ and gives rise to parts of the _____ and ______

A

Ectomesenchyme
Inner ear , mental portion of the mandible

36
Q

Early on ______ directs the development of the tooth

A

Epithelium

37
Q

What is the tooth/dental placode?

A

Sites of tooth development

38
Q

When are tooth buds present ? In what structure are they present?

A

Weeks 6-8
Dental lamina

39
Q

______ derived ____ regulates gene expression in ectomesenchyme

A

Ectoderm , FGF-8

40
Q

Where is FGF-8 expressed? When?
What does it induce in very early development ?

A

First arch ectoderm at the right place and time
Lhx-6 and Lhx-7 (in ectomesenchyme)

41
Q

How is the positioning of the teeth determined?

A

Expression of PAX9 transcription factor in ectomesenchymal cells DIFFERENTIATES them into dental ectomesenchymal cells

42
Q

What does dental placode formation require?

A

Transcription factor p63 (mitosis)
TNF (apoptosis, cell division )
Ectodysplasin (transmem protein that can be cleaved by fur in to produce a secreted form, involved in morphogenesis)

43
Q

What does a loss of ectodysplasin cause?

A

Fewer teeth

44
Q

What does the over activation of ectodysplasin cause?

A

Extra teeth

45
Q

Once ectomesenchyme has been under the control of the _____ in early tooth development it is now competent to ______ from ______

A

Epithelium
Drive tooth formation, skin epithelium

46
Q

What takes over tooth development after the ectomesenchyme?

A

Neural crest

47
Q

What happens in regions where BMP4 is expressed during development?

A

BMP4 blocks FGF8 from signaling PAX9; no tooth development in this area because extomesenchymal not differentiating into dental ectomesenchyme

48
Q

what role does SHH play in tooth development?

A

important in early formation of bud from dental lamina
Less Shh = less invagination
