Q

What are the four layers of the bell stage?

A

1-outer enamel epithelium (protects enamel organ)
2-stellate reticulum (star shaped, support enamel production)
3-stratum intermedium (separates layers, supports enamel mineralization)
4-inner enamel epithelium (becomes ameloblasts)

17
Q

The dental sac later develops into what?

A

Periodontal tissue

18
Q

The stage during which organic matrix of enamel and dentin are laid down is called what?

A

Appositional stage

19
Q

What is the order of reciprocal induction?

A
  • Inner Enamel Epithelial cells differentiate into pre-ameloblasts and become polarized
  • Preameloblasts then include outer dental papilla cells to differentiate into preodontoblasts which turn into odontoblasts
20
Q

Preameloblasts start producing enamel when then see what , produced by odontoblasts?

A

Predentin

21
Q

What is formed once the basement membrane disintegrates?

A

Dentinoenamel junction (DEJ)

22
Q

Tomes processes of late secretory ameloblasts form what?

A

Enamel prisms (prismless enamel is formed by early secretory ameloblasts)

23
Q

Enamel matrix secreted by Ameloblasts immediately calcify to ______% of full mineralization

A

25%

24
Q

What are the seven stages of ameloblast life cycle

A

1-Inner enamel epithelial cells
2-Preameloblasts (reverse polarity)
3-Initial secretory ameloblast (prismless enamel)
4-Secretory ameloblast (Tomes process/enamel process)
5-Smooth-ended maturation ameloblast (remove protein/water)
6-Ruffled-ended maturation ameloblast (introduction of inorganic material)
7-Protective ameloblast (enamel cuticle)

25
Q

Once the enamel has fully matured what forms?

A

Reduced enamel epithelium (REE)

26
Q

initial dentin mineralization is in the form of globules and produces what?

A

globular dentin

27
Q

Initial layers of dentin next to the DEJ is called what?

A

Mantle dentin (Perpendicular fibers)

28
Q

Dentin around the pulp is called what?

A

Cirumpulpal dentin (parallel fibers)

29
Q

What has odontoblasts inside and cementoblasts outside and induces root formation?

A

Hertwigs Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS)

30
Q

Hertwigs Epithelium Root sheath remnants that persist in the Periodontal ligament are called what?

A

Epithelial rests of Malassez

31
Q

Induction of dental sac cells differentiate into what?

A

Cementoblasts which secrete cementoid which mineralizes into cementum

*if cemtoblasts are trapped into lacunae they are cemtocytes

32
Q

Dental sac ectomesenchyme cells differentiate into what?

A

Fibroblasts that secret collagen and form the PDL
