Q

How does tooth bud form?

24
Q

What is a feature of bell stage?

A

formation on stratum intermedium

25
Q

At what stage does enamel organ break away from oral epithelium?

A

bell stage when dental lamina disintergrates

26
Q

What is the enamel knot?

A

At cusp tip or incisal edge, collection of signalling molecules in CAP stage

27
Q

What is the enamel cord?

A

Line of cells dividing stellate reticulum in to two, bell stage.

28
Q

At what point does the inner dental enamel epithelium stop proliferating?

A

when crown attains its final shape

29
Q

What are epithelial pearls of serres?

A

remnants of disintegrated dental lamina

30
Q

what happens at the end of bell stage?

A

start of enamel and dentine formation

31
Q

Which hard tissue starts forming first?

A

dentine first then enamel

32
Q

which cells produce pax-9?

A

ectomesencymal cells

33
Q

what triggers differentiation of odontoblasts?

A

signalling from pre-ameloblasts

34
Q

which cells contact when basal lamina breaks down?

A

pre-ameloblasts and odontoblast

35
Q

what causes differentiation from pre-ameloblasts to ameloblasts?

A

predentine

36
Q

what are the 5 stages of amelogenesis?

A
  1. pre-secretary
  2. secretary
  3. transition
  4. maturation
  5. post maturation
37
Q

what happens in the pre-secretary stage?

A
  1. resorption of basal lamina
  2. pre-ameloblasts become polarised columnar cells (ameloblasts)
  3. proximal terminal web forms
    4
38
Q

what happens in secretary stage?

A
  1. secretion of enamel proteins (amelogenins)
  2. Tomes process forms (delayed)
  3. further secretion and start of mineralisation simultaneously
  4. distal terminal web forms to adhere cells and control substances going in and out for mineralisation.
  5. tomes process retracts
  6. secretion finishes
39
Q

What are the cross striations of enamel presenting?

A

daily increments of enamel

40
Q

What are striae of retzius?

A

weekly increments of ennamel, running obliquely

41
Q

What occurs in the transition stage?

A
  1. Ameloblasts shrink to cuboidal cells
  2. 50% ameloblasts die
  3. Most enamel matrix removes
  4. basal lamina reforms
42
Q

What occurs in mineralisation?

A
  1. HA crystallites thicken and widen
  2. Reduced space between crystals
  3. Calcium, phosphate and carbonate brought in by ameloblasts (ruffle ended).
  4. Removal of water and degraded protein (smooth ended)
43
Q

What happens in post maturation stage?

A
  1. Ameloblasts flatten
  2. layers of enamel organ degenerate and reduced enamel epithelium and primary enamel cuticle form.`
  3. tooth erupts
  4. saliva =further mineralisation
44
Q

What is different about secretion of dentine?

A

There is a ‘pre’ unmineralised layer that always precedes the mineralised layer

45
Q

What is found in the dentine matrix?

A

collagen type 1, proteoglycans, glycoproteins, DPP

Q

the initial formation of odontoblasts forms two cell types, what are they?
