Tooth Development Flashcards
Cell layer of the bell stage that plays a supportive function in enamel production
Stellate reticulum
Stage of tooth development that includes maturation
Maturation
____ is comprised of multiple, small tooth-like structures
Compound Odontoma
_____ is the junction of the outer and inner enamel epithelia; site of cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) in the adult tooth
Cervical loop
____ formations stops at the termination of the enamel organ
Enamel
_____ is the most common neoplastic lesion arising from odontogenic epithelium; considered a slow growing, locally invasive tumor; lesions have a multilocular or soap bubble appearance on radiographs
Ameloblastoma
Cell layer of the bell stage outer cells differentiate into odontoblasts, whereas inner cell differentiate into pulp tissue
Dental papilla
Ectoderm invaginates into the mesenchyme and is now called _____; separated from the surrounding mesenchyme by a basement membrane
Dental lamina
____ is the most common manifestation of supernumerary tooth formation
Mesodens
Cell layer of the bell stage that forms a protective barrier
Outer enamel epithelium
Actively secreting ameloblasts are _____ cells
tall columnar cells
_____ is an enlargement of the body and pulp chamber of multirooted teeth with apical displacement of the bifurcation; exceptionally long root trunk with very short roots; epithelial diaphragm with Hertwig’s root sheath malfunction
Taurodontism
______ root is due to accelerated ortho or hertwig’s root sheath
Shorted root
____ specifies the dental nature of mesenchyme
Epithelium
Stage of tooth development that includes induction and proliferation
Apposition
Stage of tooth development that includes proliferation, differentiation, and morphogenesis; this stage is considered the most important
Bell stage
Stage of tooth development that includes cellular proliferation (growth)
Bud Stage
_____ is the fusion and apical extension of the outer and inner enamel epithelia; determines the outline of the root dentin and the number of roots a tooth will have; it is removed before the cementum is laid down
Hertwig’s Epithelial Root Sheath
Inactive ameloblasts are _____ or ____ cells
short columnar or elongated cuboidal cells
____ is when tooth count is normal when the double tooth is counted as one
Gemination
Abnormal _____ formation is due to an issue with epithelial diaphragm with Hertwig’s root sheath
Abnormal root formation
A _____ is lined with epithelial cells with an open lumen
Cyst
