28
Q

What is the Odontogenic (Homeobox) Code Model? Describe it.

A

A hypothetical model for dentition patterning
It postulates that tooth shape is determined by the mesenchyme - where different homeobox genes are expressed in the regions of Incisors/premolars/molars

29
Q

What is the Clone Model? Describe it

A

A hypothetical model for dentition patterning - It postulates that each tooth class is produced by a “clone” of mesenchymal cells that were PROGRAMED BY EPITHELIAL CELLS to produce teeth of specific patterns.

Epithelium induces mesenchymal clone, clone progresses posteriorly and induces similar teeth buds.

30
Q

Which model of tooth patterning could be correct?

A

Both!

31
Q

Describe the Bud stage

A

Characterized by proliferation of epithelial cells and local condensation of ectomesenchymal cells

First epithelial incursion into the ectomesenchyme of the jaw

32
Q

Describe the Cap Stage

A

Characterized by an epithelial outgrown that forms a cap of epithelium (the dental (or enamel) organ) overlying a ball of ectomesenchyme (the dental papilla) all surrounded by a condensation of ectomesenchymal cells (the dental follicle)

33
Q

What structures are formed from the different parts of the dental organ?

A
34
Q

What is Histodifferentiation and Morphodifferentiation?

When does it occur? What forms as a result?

A

A process by which similar epithelial cells transform themselves into morphologically and functionally distince components

Late cap - Early bell

Outer Enamel Epithelium, Stellate Reticulum, Stratum Intermedium, Inner Enamel Epithelium, Cervical loop…

35
Q

How do cells of the stellate reticulum form?

A

During hisodifferentiation, cells within the enamel organ begin to secrete glycosaminoglycans. This attracts water into the enamel organ and their extracellular spaces, while they maintain their desmosomal contacts - forming star shaped cells.

36
Q

Describe the Bell Stage

A

Histo and Morphodifferentiation continue - form the OEE, Stellate R, Stratum I, IEE, CL… Form the shape of a bell

Dental lamina degenerates and separates the developing tooth from the oral epithelium

37
Q

What process forms the hard tissues of the tooth?

A

Reciprocal Induction

38
Q

What is Reciprocal Induction?

A

At the site of future cusp tips, mitotic activity ceases

Local IEE is induced to differentiate (reverse their polarity so nuclei are adjacent to stratum and Golgi face dental papilla - and elongate) into Pre-Ameloblasts

Pre-ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix proteins that induce outer ectomesenchyme to differentiate into Pre-Odontoblasts

Pre-Odontoblasts secrete Mantle Dentin

Mantle Dentin causes Pre-Ameloblasts to differentiate into Ameloblasts

Ameloblasts secrete organic matrix that immediately mineralizes to enamel

39
Q

Which comes first - amelogenesis, or dentinogenesis?

A

Dentinogenesis

40
Q

What is HERS and when/how does it form?

A

Hertwig’s Epithelial Root Sheath

Once the crown formation is complete, the IEE and OEE proliferate at the cercical loop and form a double cell layer (HERS)

41
Q

What is the rim of HERS called? What does it enclose?

A

the Epithelial Diaphram

The primary apical foramen

42
Q

How does the root form?

A

As HERS encloses the dental papilla, it induces peripheral cells of the papilla to differentiate into odontoblasts. HERS disintegrates except at the advanceing epithelial diaphram. Exposed dentin that contacts the Dental Follicle cells induce differentiation into Cementoblasts

43
Q

How does root separation occur during multi root formation?

A

The epithelial cells of the epithelial diaphram grown towards each other and divide a single apical foramen into 2-3 apical foramina corresponding to the number of roots.

44
Q

What structurs/pathology can HERS contribute to?

What are remnants of HERS referred to as?

A

Failure of HERS to detach can lead to Enamel Pearls or Cervical Enamel Projections

Invagination of HERS forms Palatogingival Grooves

Remnants of HERS = Epithelial Rests of Malassez - can form Dental Cysts

45
Q

What is the origen of Masicatory Mucosa?

A

Ectoderm

46
Q

How does Junctional Epithelium form?

A

JE forms during tooth eruption when oral epithelium and reduced enamel epithelium fuse

47
Q

What is the origen of the PDL? What cell type forms the PDL?

A

Ectomesenchymal cells of the Dental Follicle differentiating into Fibroblasts

48
Q

What is the average width of the PDL? What happens to it as we age?

A

0.15 - 0.38mm

It decreases in width

49
Q

What is the origen of the Cementum?

A

Ectomesenchymal cells of the Dental Follicle induced by Enamel Matrix Proteins secreted by HERS differentiate into cementoblasts

or

HERS differentiate into Cementoblasts

50
Q

What is the origen of the Alveolar Bone

A

Ectomesenchymal cells of the Dental Follicle differentiating into Osteoblasts

51
Q

What is Bundle Bone?

A

The alveolar bone lining the socket that has Sharpey’s Fibers embedded in it

52
Q

What are Sharpey’s Fibers?

A

The terminal portion of PDL fibers that are embedded in Bundle Bone and Cementum

53
Q

What are the Principal Fiber Groups of the PDL

A

Transseptal Fibers

Alveolar Crest Fibers

Horizontal Fibers

Oblique Fibers

Apical Fibers

Interradicular Fibers

54
Q

What are Transseptal Fibers? Location? Response to perio?

A

Fibers that connect two adjacent teeth

located above the alveolar crest

Always present, even after destruction from periodontal disease

55
Q

What are Alveolar Crest Fibers responsible for? Location? Orientation?

A

Responsible for resisting tooth extrusion and lateral movement.

Located below the JE and running obliquely from cementum to alveolar crest

56
Q

What are Horizotal Fibers responsible for? Location? Orientation?

A

Responsible for resisting lateral tooth movement.

Located in the Cervical Third

Oriented perpendicular from cementum to bone

57
Q

What are Oblique Fibers responsible for? Location? Orientation?

A

Responsible for resisting occlusal forces/shock absorption.

Located in the Middle Third (most abundant fiber) Oriented obliquely from bone to cementum

58
Q

What are Apical Fibers responsible for? Location? Orientation

A

Oriented in an irregular pattern around the apex

59
Q

Where are Interradicular fibers located?

A

Fan out from the fcementum of the tooth at furcation areas of multirooted teeth.

60
Q

What is EMD? When is it expressed? What is it composed of?

A

Enamel Matrix Derivatives

Expressed transiently during early root formation (by HERS)

Induces cementoblast or odontoblast formation

Composed of: 90% Amelogenin 10% proline rich non-amelogenins, tuftelin, tuft protein, serum protein, etc.

61
Q

What is EMD developed from?

A

Porcine unerupted tooth-buds

62
Q

Sculean et al. 2006

A

Aim: to determine the effect of root conditioning on the healing of intrabony defects treated with EMD

Results: NSSD in groups treated with or without PrefGel (24% EDTA)

63
Q

How is PrefGel supposed to be used

A

Applied to the root surface for 2min, after the bleeding from the pocket has stopped, followed by copious irrigation with saline.

64
Q

How does EMD help with Non-Surgical therapy?

A

No additional benefit to SRP alone for pocket depth reduction and CAL gain. However, may enhance early soft tissue healing (lower GI, less BOP, less post-op discomfort)

Wennstrom and Lindhe 2002

65
Q

How does EMD help with Intrabony defects?

A

Systematic review and meta analysis comparing flap alone vs GTR, EMD, GTR+EMD found that no regenerative procedure was significantly better than the others in either CAL or PD reduction.

Tsai et al. 2020

66
Q

How does EMD help with Class II furcation defects?

A

RCT

EMD vs Membrane

45pts with 90 defects

EMD>Membrane in Horizontal depth reduction, less pain/swellling, recession reduction, resorption
