Q

What happens in the Late Bell Stage (4)

A
  1. Approx 18wks IUL
  2. Crown shape well defined
  3. Apposition of enamel + dentine begins
  4. Dental formation is established and enamel formation begins
27
Q

Describe the steps to the formation of dentine + enamel (4)

A
  1. Dental papilla cells adjacent to IEE differentiate into odontoblasts
  2. Odontoblasts lay down dentine matrix (which is later mineralised
  3. Once dentine formation has begun, IEE cells differentiate into amelobasts (which form enamel)
28
Q

When is primary dentine formed?

A

Formed while the tooth is still forming (but hasn’t completely formed)

29
Q

When is secondary dentine formed?

A

Formed after the tooth is completely formed

30
Q

When is tertiary dentine formed?

A

Formed in response to trauma (odontoblasts recognise trauma)

31
Q

When does the formation of primary dentine stop?

A

After the 3rd molar has formed

32
Q

Dentinogenesis steps (4)

A

Odontoblast differentiation from IEE

  1. Deposition of dentine matrix (mainly collagen)
  2. This unmineralised dentine is predentine
  3. Mineralisation of dentine (hydroxyapatite) occurs
33
Q

Mineralisation content of enamel

A

96%

34
Q

Describe the enamel formation stages (2)

A

STAGE 1:

  • Protein matrix deposited
  • Matrix is partially mineralised (30%)

STAGE 2:
- Organic part is removed and mineralisation is completed (maturation)

35
Q

Define regression

A

When ameloblastsstop having active functions processes, but they still have a protective epithelial function

36
Q

What is junctional epithelium/

A

Tissue that holds gingiva to enamel

37
Q

Outline the steps to root formation (3)

A
  1. The EEE and IEE meet at the cervical loop
  2. Migration of cervical loop for crown shape
  3. Apical growth of the cervical loop (HERS) defines root shape
38
Q

What maps the crown shape during root formation?

A

The migration of the cervical loop

39
Q

What maps the root shape during root formation?

A

The apical growth of the cervical loop (which is now called the Hertwigs Epithelial Root)

40
Q

What is HERS?

A

2 cell layered structure in comparison to the 4 layered enamel organ

41
Q

Function of HERS (3)

A
  1. Induces formation of root dentine
  2. Once the initial layer of root dentine is formed HERS breaks up (no enamel in root)
  3. Remains of HERS persist as debris of malassez, which may develop into a cyst
42
Q

How is cementum formed?

A

Mesenchymal cells from the follicle contact dentine and differentiate into cementoblast (which form cementum)

43
Q

List the ameloblast differentiation stages (7)

A
  1. Morphogenic
  2. Histodifferentiation
  3. Secretory (initial)
  4. Secretory (tomes process)
  5. Maturative (ruffled ended)
  6. Maturative (smooth)
  7. Protective
44
Q

What happens in the Ameloblast Differentiation stage of amelogenesis? (3)

A
  1. Dentine induces IEE cells to differentiate into ameloblasts
  2. They elongate and become columnar
  3. The nucleus migrates to the basal end of the cell
45
Q

What happens in the Secretory Phase of amelogenesis? (3)

A
  1. Ameloblasts become secretory cells
  2. They synthesise and secrete the enamel matrix proteins (amelogenins)
  3. The matrix is partially mineralised (30% mineral), mature enamel is 95% mineral
46
Q

What happens in the Maturation Phase of amelogenesis? (2)

A
  1. Most of the matrix proteins are removed
  2. Mineral content of enamel is increased (but we still don’t have pure hydroxyapatite, still a mix of carbonated apatite + hydroxyapatite
47
Q

What happens in the Protection Phase of amelogenesis? (3)

A
  1. Ameloblasts regress to form a protective layer (the reduced enamel epithelium)
  2. Involved in eruption
  3. Formation of epithelial attachment
48
Q

Why are fissure sealants used after early stage tooth eruption? (3)

A
  1. Erupted tooth has high conc of hydroxyapatite
  2. This will be reduced by the demineralisation/remineralisation process
  3. Fissure sealants used as its very susceptible to cavity formation
49
Q

What is Amelogenesis Imperfecta?

A

When enamel fails to develop properly, leading to small yellow teeth

50
Q

Why is Enamelysin protein essential for proper maturation? (3)

A
  1. Enamelysin breaks down other proteins like amelogenin/amelobastin into smaller pieces so they are easier to remove
  2. This allows the protein breakage to be absorbed and to remove the protein content, allowing the minerals to actually mature the enamel
  3. Absence of this proteins leads to inadequate maturation
51
Q

How do the teeth appear opaque due to Amelogenesis Imperfecta? (2)

A
  1. Reduced mineral content leads to reduced translucency (so becomes opaque)
  2. Opacity brings the colour of dentine through
52
Q

How does Amelogenesis Imperfecta affect the restoration process?

A

Restoring teeth is harder as composite won’t adhere with the same strength as it would, due to lack of mineral

53
Q

How does Amelogenesis Imperfecta present on a radiograph?

A

Can’t see the interface between enamel and dentine - as enamel is so demineralised that it has similar density to dentine

54
Q

What is Dentinogenesis Imperfecta? (2)

A
  • Genetic disorder of tooth development
  • Type of dentin dysplasia that leads to discoloured grey tooth
  • Enamel is properly formed but dentine hasn’t reached sufficient maturation
55
Q

How does Dentinogenesis Imperfecta affect teeth?

A

Teeth are weaker than normal, making them more prone to rapid wear, breakage and loss

56
Q

How can we distinguish Dentinogenesis Imperfecta from Amelogenesis Imperfecta?

A

We can see the interface between enamel and dentine (as enamel is still mineralised although dentine is less mineralised)
