Q

What are the 3 stages of tooth eruption?

A
  1. Pre-eruptive where there are changes in location of the tooth.
  2. Eruptive stage which is reflective of the movement of the tooth as it changes position in the jaw to reach the occlusal plane.
  3. Posteruptive stage where changes in positioning occur of the tooth as the jaw grown and teeth are being used

Q

What are the two ways teeth move in the pre-eruptive stage of tooth eruption ?

A
  1. Bodily Movement

Shift in location of ENTIRE tooth germ within developing jaw

  1. Eccentric Growth

Relative growth of one part of a tooth in relation to the rest of the tooth causing a different center of gravity for the tooth

Q

Describe differences in bodily movement between canines and incisors compared to molars and premolar.

A

Canines and incisors will have the permanent dentition located laterally and lingually to the primary tooth. They scootch into the spot once the primary tooth false out.

Molars and premolar tooth germs will find their way UNDER the primary tooth. Once the primary tooth falls out, it will follow the path of eruption and just replace the spot.

Q

What lays the path for interruption of permanent teeth including molars ?

A

The Gubernacular Cord and Canal

When the dental lamina undergoes a ptosis, it’s remnants, or organized in the form of epithelial eyelids and strands, that lineup, leaving the reduced epithelium of the enamel organ towards the oral mucosa.

The cord itself is composed by a fibrous conjunctive tissue containing peripheral nerves, blood and lymphatic vessels.

Q

What are Gubernacular canals?

A

Gubernacular canals are structures formed due to the gubernacular cord stopping bone from populating in certain areas of the jaw.

These canals are the site of permanent tooth eruption and the primary dentition is shed!

Q

Describe how gubernacular canals direct tooth development

A

The gubernacular chord travels through the gubernacular, canals, and teeth follow.

Osteoclast activity driven by components of the cord allow the canal to widen so that the tooth can erupt

Q

What three factors drive tooth eruption?

A
  1. Root Formation
  2. Bone Remodeling
  3. Forces generated by periodontal ligament
24
Q

Teeth must have roots to erupt. True or false?

A

False

Remember that roots form late and continue forming after tooth eruption.

Teeth pinned in place can have root growth and the bone will resorb to make space

THINK Bone is to the SURFACE of the root

(The root does not meet the bone)

25
Q

PDL is has a likely role in tooth eruption. True or false?

A

FALSE

PDL formation happens AFTER root formation starts and begins coronally.

If root formation doesn’t affect tooth eruption, it is likely that the PDL won’t either.

26
Q

What is osteopetrosis?

A

A rare inherited disorder were bones, hardened, becoming denser, and have low remodeling.

People with osteopetrosis have normal PD development, but teeth do not erupt.

LOW osteoclasts so bone resorption is reduced thus reducing bone remodeling

27
Q

Teeth without roots, especially those ______ a detectable PDL will or will not erupt?

A

In teeth without roots, especially those without a detectable a PDL , teeth do erupt.

28
Q

What are two pieces of evidence that tell us that the PDL is not directing tooth development?

A
  1. Osteopetrosis. Even with a PDL, teeth do not develop
  2. Rootless teeth have no PDL but they still erupt
29
Q

Removing dental follicle cells affects tooth development how?

A

The teeth will develop but NOT erupt

30
Q

If the tooth germ is replaced with silicone or metal and the dental follicle is present, will the fake tooth germ erupt?

A

Yes!!

31
Q

Dental follicle is needed for eruption. True or False?

A

TRUE

32
Q

What ultimately determines the bodily movement of teeth and eruption of teeth?

A

Bone remodeling of jaw via dental follicle activity

33
Q

What is CSF-1 ?

A

Colony Stimulating Factor 1 that is a growth factor which activates osteoclastic activity

34
Q

If CSF-1 is given to osteopetrotic mice, it can leads to _____________.

A

Osteoclast activation and tooth eruption

35
Q

Osteoclasts develop from ___________ and differentiate __________.

A

extravasated monocytes

in situ next to developing tooth

36
Q

What are extravasated monocytes?

A

Monocytes that have left the capillaries of vasculature and have entered the dental follicle.

37
Q

When does vascularization of the tooth start?

When does it become prominent?

A

Late apposition stage of development

It becomes very prominent with the formation of the popularity layer, overlying the developing crown.

It becomes prominent as roots and periodontal ligaments develop.

Vascularization allows for extravasatation of monocytes in the neighborhood of the developing tooth

38
Q

Describe monocyte to osteoclast differentiation.

A

Dental follicle cells generate MONOCYTE CHEMOTROPIC PROTEIN 1.

This recruit monocytes to extravasate and enter the dental follicle/sac.

Follicular cells will now express CSF-1 to promote differentiation of monocytes into osteoclasts.

39
Q

What two factors are key for differentiation of monocytes to osteoclasts?

A

MCP-1 for recruitment of monocytes into dental follicle from vessels

CSF-1 for differentiation of monocytes into osteoclasts

40
Q

Describe tooth exfoliation of canine and incisors.

Describe the status of

Root
Pulp
Bone
PDL

A

Permanent teeth develop on LINGUAL side

Little loss of root, pulp and bone when exfoliation occurs.

PDL is lost rapidly as cells undergo apoptosis

41
Q

Prior to exfoliation of the PDL of deciduous molars what happens?

A

Roots are primary molars are resorbed

42
Q

What is the difference in exfoliation of deciduous incisors and canines compared to molars?

A

Deciduous molar roots get resorbed.

Deciduous incisors and canines keep their roots

43
Q

What happens during the post eruptive stage?

A
  1. Periodontal ligaments attain mature patterns of fiber groups
  2. Gingivalfiber groups develop
  3. Final growth pattern of vascularization and innervation of PDL
44
Q

What is mesial drift?

A

It is the anterior or medial adjustment of teeth with the jaws as a hole due to alveolar bone remodeling from mastication and angle of jaws

Bone resportion occurs anteriorly in each socket and addition posteriorly

45
Q

The maxilla moves. The mandible is static.

True or False

A

FALSE

Maxilla is static

Mandible moves via TMJ

46
Q

The TMJ articulates with ________

A

The underside of the squamous portion of the temporal bone of the skull called the Glenoid Fossa

and

the condyloid process in the mandible.

47
Q

What is the condyloid process?

A

A site located posteriorly on the mandible.

Kind of like the highest part of mandible furthest to the back

48
Q

The condyle and fossa form a ___________ joing.

A

Ginglymoarthrodial Joint (TMJ)

Ginglymus : Hinging

Arthrodial : Sliding

49
Q

The TMJ is enclosed by a _______. What is it made of?

A

Connective tissue capsule

Dense fibrous membrane that surrounds TMJ and incorporate articular eminence, articular disc and neck of mandibular condoyle at 4 different sheets

50
Q

What are the 4 sheets created by the capsule covering the TMJ?

A
  1. Anterior: to Ascending slope of articular eminence (Glenoid Fossa)
  2. Posterior: to lips of squamous tympanic fissure (Glenoid Fossa)
  3. Superiorly to Glenoid Fossa
  4. Inferiorly to neck of condyle
51
Q

What two structures of the temporal lobe are key for attachment of the TMJ?

A
  1. Articular tubercule of temporal bone (anterior to fossa)
  2. Tympanic Part (posterior to fossa)
52
Q

What covers the glenoid fossa?

What covers the mandibular condoyle?

What separates condoyl and fossa surfaces?
