Tooth Development Flashcards
What are the primary embryonic layers
Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Endoderm
What is tooth enamel derived from
Ectoderm
What are all tooth structures besides 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 initiation stage
Dental lamina
What are the different stages of tooth development
Initiation Morphogenetic 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 of 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
