Tooth Development Flashcards
Odontogenesis
Tooth development!
Primary teeth develop during:
Embryonic + Fetal
Permanent teeth develop during:
Fetal
Stages of Tooth Development
Initiation, Bud, Cap, Bell, Apposition + Maturation
Initiation Stage
6-7 week (embryonic)
Stomodium
[induction], # of teeth present!?
*anodontia, supernumerary
Bud Stage
8th week (embryonic)
Proliferation! Size of teeth!
*relative or complete micro/macro-it
Cap Stage
9-10 weeks (fetal)
Morphogenesis! Tooth form
*dens n dents, gemination, fusion, tubercles
Bell Stage
11-12 weeks (fetal)
Differentiation!
^Dental papilla within enamel organ undergoes
Apposition Stage
[secretory]
enamel/dentin/cementum secreted in matrix layers
Maturation Stage
[final]
Full mineralization of hard tissue enamel/dentin/cementum
Dens in dente
Enamel organ invaginates into dental papilla (tooth within tooth)
Prosecutes lingual pits
(Cap stage)
Gemination
Tooth germ unsuccessfully divides into two tooth germs. Crown “twinning” occurs w enlarged pulp cavity
(Cap stage)
Fusion
Union of two adjacent tooth germs.
Denton, enamel united; two separate/distinct pulp cavities
(Cap stage)
Enamel dysplasia
Esthetic, color changes from faulty enamel development from ameloblast > enamel pitting
(Apposition+Maturation stage)
Concrescence
Enamel pearl
Union of root structures (during single root formation)
Enamel sphere on root (during multi root formation)
(Apposition+Maturation)
