Tooth development Flashcards
What are the two layers that guide organogenesis
It is the epithelial-mesenchymal interactions (reciprocity)
Name 4 things that develop from the cranial neural crest cells?
Dentin, Pulp, Cementum, and Periodontal ligaments
What is the first thing you see in tooth development?
A thickening of the epithelium called the primary band
Which direction does the primary band grow?
Downward towards the ectomesenchyme
What are dental placodes?
They mark the places for future tooth development
Next to the dental lamina there is another lamina, what is it?
The vestibular lamina
What are the 6 steps in crown development?
Initiation, bud, cap, bell, apposition, and maturation
What does the ectomesenchyme come from?
Cranial neural crest cells
What provides the shape of the developing tooth?
There is cell proliferation at different locations and at different rate
During what two stages is the epithelium in control of what is happening?
Primary epithelial band and bud stage
In what stage does the inductive influence change over to the mesenchyme?
In the cap stage
What are the 4 layers that make up the enamel organ?
OEEs, stellate reticulum, stratum intermedium, and IEEs. These are all present in the bell stage
What is the stellate reticulum and the stratum intermedium rich in?
GAGs and Alkaline Phosphatase respectively
What makes up the tooth germ?
enamel organ, dental papilla, and the dental sac
Where does the successional dental lamina grow?
Always on the lingual side
