Tooth Development Flashcards
what are the 3 primary embryonic layers?
ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm
what is tooth enamel derived from?
ectoderm
what are all tooth structures apart from the enamel derived from?
ectomesenchyme
what is the ectomesenchyme?
part of the neural crest that develops beside the primitive nervous system (ectoderm)
what do teeth develop from?
tooth germs
what is another name for the neural crest?
ectomesenchyme
what is developed in the intiation stage?
dental lamina
what are the 5 different stages of tooth development?
initiation, morphogenesis, cytodifferentiation, matrix secretion, root formation
name in order of first to last the parts of tooth that are developed
dental lamina - bud - cap - bell - erupting tooth - bone
when does the primary epithelial band develop?
approximately 6 weeks
what does the primary epithelial band appear as?
thickening in epithelium of embryonic mouth (stomodaeum)
when does the dental lamina develop?
approximately 7 weeks
what does the primary epithelial band divide into?
vestibular lamina and dental lamina
what does the vestibular lamina form?
buccal sulcus
what does the dental lamina form?
enamel organ
what develops at the morphogenesis stage?
bud and cap
when does the enamel bud develop?
8-10 weeks
what happens during the bud stage?
dental lamina thickens into an enamel bud and the dental papilla appears
when does the enamel cap develop?
11 weeks
what happens during the cap stage?
enamel organ forms a cap over the papilla and the external enamel epithelium and internal enamel epithelium meet at the cervical loop
