Q

What is the ‘bud’ stage of dental development?

A
  • Dental lamina thickens into a ‘bud’ stage enamel organ

- An Ectomesenchymeal condensation appears and this is the dental papilla

Q

What are the 4 cell layers present in the ‘bell’ stage enamel organ?

A
  • Stratum intermedium
  • Internal enamel epithelium
  • External enamel epithelium
  • Stellate reticulum
24
Q

What is the function of stellate reticulum in the ‘bell’ stage enamel organ?

A

Support tissue during the formation of enamel

25
At what time does an extension appear on the lingual side of the dental lamina - this is the dental lamina for the permanent successor?
At approximately 12 weeks
26
At what time does the 1st permanent molar germ develop as a backwards extension of the dental lamina?
At approximately 16 weeks
27
What is the fourth stage of tooth development?
Matrix secretion
28
At what time does matrix secretion occur?
Approximately 18 weeks
29
In what stage does the apposition of enamel and dentine begin?
The late 'bell' stage
30
What do dental papilla cells adjacent to the internal enamel epithelium differentiate into?
Odontoblasts
31
What do odontoblasts do?
They lay down dentine matrix, which is later mineralised (pre-dentine)
32
What do ameloblasts do?
Form enamel
33
What is the process of dentinogenesis?
- Odontoblast differentiation from IEE - Deposition of dentin matrix - mineralisation of dentine
34
What are the 2 stages of formation of enamel?
1. Protein matrix deposited - Matrix is partially mineralised 2. Once this framework is established, the organic part is removed, and mineralisation is complete - The ameloblasts change form and function several times during amelogenesis
35
What happens during the differentiation stage of amelogenesis?
- Dentine induces IEE cells to differentiate into ameloblasts - They elongate, become columnar - The nucleus migrates to the basal end of the cell
36
What happens during the secretory stage of amelogenesis?
- Ameloblasts become secretory cells - They synthesise and secrete the enamel matrix proteins (amelogenins) - The matrix is then partially mineralised
37
What happens during the maturation stage of amelogenesis?
- Most of the matrix proteins are removed - Mineral content of enamel is increased - Mature enamel is 95% mineralised
38
What happens during the protection stage of amelogenesis?
- Ameloblasts regress to form a protective layer - the reduced enamel epithelium - Involved in eruption - Formation of epithelial attachment
39
What is the 5th stage in tooth development?
Root formation
40
What has to be completed before root formation begins?
Crown formation
41
Where do the EEE and IEE meet?
At the cervical loop
42
What does migration of the cervical loop map out?
The crown shape
43
What is the root shape defined by in root formation?
By apical growth of the cervical loop, which is now called the Hertwig's epithelial root sheath
44
What is the Hertwig's epithelial root sheath?
- The apical growth of the cervical loop | - This is a 2-cell-layered structure, in contrast to the 4-layered enamel organ
45
What does the Hertwig's epithelial root sheath induce?
Formation of root dentine | - Once the initial layer of root dentine is formed, Hertwig's sheath breaks up (no enamel in root)
46
What is 'debris of Malassez'?
Remains of Hertwig's epithelial root sheath which may develop into a cyst
47
What are cementoblasts?
Produce cementum
48
What is the type of tissue, origin and product of the enamel organ?
- Epithelium - Ectoderm - Enamel
49
What is the type of tissue, origin and product of the dental papilla?
- Ectomesenchyme - Neural crest - Dentine, pulp
50
What is the type of tissue, origin and product of the dental follicle?
- Ectomesenchyme - Neural crest - Cementum, PDL, alveolar bone (part)
51
What are the possible characteristics of dental development disorders?
- Presence - Number - Size - Shape - Structure - Eruption
52
What is hypodontia?
Lacking teeth and not formed properly
53
What is supernumerary 'mesio-dens'?
Extra tooth in the middle
54
What is germination?
2 laterals glued together
55
What is fusion?
Central and lateral joined together
56
What is dentinogenesis imperfecta?
Dentine has not been formed properly
