Tooth Development (complete) Flashcards
What is the stomatodeum
the primitive oral cavity
What borders the stomatodeum
the neural plate
the cardiac plate
What separates the stomatodeum from the foregut
the buccopharyngeal membrane
What happens to the buccopharyngeal membrane
it disintegrates in the 4th week
what lines the stomatodeum
ectoderm
what initiates the development of the face
the formation of the stomatodeum
what is the oral epithelium
a primitive two or three cell thick layer of epithelium that covers embryonic connective tissue
from what does the dental lamina develop
a portion of the oral epithelium
What is dental lamina
the horse shoe shaped band of epithelial tissue that will develop into the teeth and periodontium (along with ectomesenchyme)
When does odontogenesis begin
the 6th week
What are the two tissues that develop into teeth
- dental lamina
2. ectomesenchyme
When do primary teeth begin to form
4 months in utero
when do permanent teeth begin to form
at birth
What initiates and governs tooth development
ectomesenchymal interactions
What leads to the differentiation of ectomesenchyme
secretion of growth factor by the dental lamina
What is the ectomesenchyme formed from
mesoderm with neural crest cells sprinkled in
What separates the dental lamina from the ectomesenchyme
a well defined basal lamina
What signifies the start of odontogenesis
the appearance of the dental lamina
What are the stages of dental lamina development
- oral epithelium (no invagination)
- primary epithelial band (slight invagination)
- Dental lamina (invagination)
What is adontia
congenital absence of all teeth
what causes adontia
ectodermal dysplasia
(defect in the ectoderm derived tissues)
no tooth buds are formed
What is hypodontia
1-5 teeth missing
what is oligodontia
6 or more teeth missing
What is hyperdontia
extra teeth (supernumerary teeth)
in what dentition do we see hyperdontia
permanent dentition
What is the most common supernumerary tooth
mesioden
What causes hyperdontia
an extra tooth germ forms
tooth formation is initiated by factors residing in the ____
1st arch oral epithelium
What are the stages of tooth development
Bud
Cap
Bell
What is the stage that follows the invagination of the dental lamina
the Bud stages begins as the invagination of dental lamina becomes deep into the ectomesenchyme
What connects the bud to the dental lamina
the lateral lamina
what happens with the shape and function of the epithelial cells in the bud stage
there is little change in shape or function of epithelial cells in the bud stage
how many placodes or outgrowths dive down into the ectomesencyhme
20
what do the 20 placodes that invaginate into the ectomesenchyme form
the 20 primary teeth
does the development of teeth correspond to the erpution of teeth
yes
what are the first teeth to develop, and what follows
the anterior mandibular teeth are first, then the anterior maxilla, and lastly going anterior to posterior in both jaws
what are other names for tooth buds
dental buds, tooth primordia, or tooth germs
what are the abnormalities associated with the bud stage
- microdontia
2. macrodontia
What is microdontia
abnormally small tooth
which teeth are most affected by microdontia
maxillary lateral incisors and third molars
what is macrodontia
abnormally large teeth
what causes macrodontia of single teeth
hemifacial hypertrophy
What signals that the tooth germ has reached the cap stage
- the appearance of a cap
2. the creation of a three layered enamel organ
what are the three layers of the enamel organ
OEE (outer enamel epithelium)
IEE (inner enamel epithelium)
SR (stellate reticulum)
The cap begins to form around a condensed pile of ectomesenchyme, what is that pile called.
Dental papilla (underneath the cap)
What are the three parts of the tooth germ
- the enamel organ
- the dental papilla
- the dental follicle
what is the origin of the enamel organ
ectoderm
What does the dental papilla become
the dentin and pulp of the tooth
