tooth development Flashcards
all body tissues develop from 3 primary embryonic layers, what are they?
. ectoderm
. mesoderm
. endoderm
which primary embryonic layer does the enamel develop from?
ectoderm
which primary embryonic layer do all parts of the teeth and supporting structure other than the enamel develop from?
ectomesenchyme
what is ectomesenchyme derived from?
neural crest
what do teeth develop from?
tooth germs
what is neural crest tissue referred to?
ectomesenchyme
neural crest tissue migrates into what?
developing face and jaw
name the 5 stages of tooth development
initiation, bus stage, cap stage, bell stage, eruption
what occurs during the initiation stage of tooth development?
. oral epithelium proliferates into the ectomesenchymal cells situated below to form a primary epithelial band
. primary epithelial band differentiates into vestibular lamina and dental lamina containing tooth germs
at how many weeks does the primary epithelial band develop?
6
at how many weeks does the primary epithelial band differentiate into dental lamina and vestibular lamina?
7
what is the function of dental lamina?
structure from which tooth is formed
what is the function of vestibular lamina?
breaks down to from buccal suculus
when does the bud stage of tooth formation start?
8-10 weeks
what occurs during the bud stage of tooth development?
- dental lamina thickens into a bud stage enamel organ
- ectomesenchymal cells condense to form dental papilla
when does the cap stage of tooth formation start?
11 weeks
what occurs during the cap stage of tooth development?
tooth bud forms a cap over the papilla
the tooth bud is arranged into 3 parts, what are these?
enamel organ, detal papilla and dental follicle
at which stage are the internal and external enamel organ epithelium seen for the first time?
cap stage
where do the internal and external enamel epithelium meet?
cervical loop
when does the bell stage of tooth formation start?
14 weeks
what occurs during the bell stage of tooth development?
more cell layers differentiate and tooth shape is formed
