crown
What aspect of tooth development occurs in the dental lamina?
initiation
What aspect of tooth development occurs in the bud stage?
morphogenesis
What aspect of tooth development continues from bud stage to cap stage?
morphogenesis
The process of morphogenesis occurs during what stages of tooth development?
bud & cap stage
What aspect of tooth development occurs during the bell stage?
cell differentiation
What aspect of tooth development occurs during the eruption stage?
matrix secretion
What is the most important part of tooth formation?
cross-talk between epithelium and mesenchyme
Signals of tooth development originate from the:
oral ectoderm
signals that originate from the oral ectoderm cause:
the dental mesenchyme to start signaling
List the stages of tooth development that contribute to crown formation:
- initiation
- bud stage
- cap stage
- bell stage
- enamel and dentin formation
The three main categories of tooth formation include:
- crown formation
- root formation
- supporting structures
Initiation of tooth formation involves the:
dental placode
What plays an important role in getting the mesenchyme that is going to form the teeth into the proper location?
neural crest mesenchyme
Where do the majority of our teeth originate?
through the first pharyngeal arch where two parts of the maxillary and mandibular processes are
What epithelium epithelium is located between the maxillary and mandibular processes?
odontogenic epithelium
List the processes involved in the developing human head:
- frontonasal process
- medial nasal process
- lateral nasal process
- maxillary process
- mandibular process
Where do the four maxillary incisors originate from?
the medial nasal process
What is the shape of the primary epithelial band?
horse shoe
The primary epithelial band corresponds to:
future dental arches
The primary epithelial band gives rise to:
- dental lamina
- vestibular lamina
In tooth development, its the ___ of gene expression that helps to define regions
patterning
What two genes are important in presumptive incisor region?
BMP4 and Islet-1
What are two genes target the presumptive molar region?
FGF8 and FGF9
____ is expressed in the epithelium and ____ is expressed in the mesenchyme where the tooth bud would form
Shh; Pax9
Mice have ___ lower incisors and ___ upper incisors, and ____ molars, none of which are ___.
2;2;3; succedaneous
What really is the initiation of tooth development?
the dental lamina formation
In the process of dental lamina formation, ___ formation results from epithelial thickening
placode
In the process of dental lamina formation, what do we see happen to the epithelium?
epithelial outgrowth into the mesenchyme
In the process of dental lamina formation, initial odontogenic potential lies in the epithelium but subsequently shifts to:
mesenchyme
In the process of dental lamina formation, what induces the oral ectoderm to become the dental lamina?
neural crest mesenchyme
In the process of dental lamina formation, the neural crest mesenchyme induces the ___ to become the ____.
oral ectoderm –> dental lamina
What develops after dental lamina formation?
dental and vestibular lamina formation
The vestibular lamina will form the:
vestibule
The vestibular lamina is separated from the surrounding mesenchyme by a:
basement membrane
After initiation of tooth development comes the ___ stage
bud stage
During the bud stage of tooth development, epithelial cells show:
no major changes
During the bud stage of tooth development, what are the different signaling molecules involved in placode formation?
Shh, Lef-1, & Eda-Edar
What does placode formation mean and what stage does it take place in?
ectoderm thickening; bud stage of tooth development
During the bud stage of tooth development, what happens to the mesenchyme and why does this happen?
mesenchyme beneath starts to condense; by factors secreted by epithelium
During the bud stage of tooth development, we have cross-talk between:
epithelium and mesenchyme
During the bud stage of tooth development, ____ potential in the epithelium
