Week 2 - Tooth Development & Anomalies of the Teeth Flashcards
What are the components of the teeth?
Enamel
Dentin
Cementum
Pulp
What are the components of the periodontium?
Gingiva
Periodontal ligament
Cementum
Alveolar bone proper
What are the 6 stages of tooth development?
- Initiation
- Bud stage
- Cap stage
- Bell stage
- Apposition
- Maturation
What occurs during the initiation stage?
Cellular induction
What occurs during the bud stage?
Cellular proliferation
What occurs during the cap stage?
Proliferation, differentiation and morphogenesis
What occurs during the bell stage?
Proliferation, differentiation and morphogenesis
What occurs during the appoisition stage?
Induction and proliferation
What occurs during the maturation stage?
Maturation
What role does the epithelium play during the pre-tooth bud stage of tooth formation?
“instructional role”
What is the fate of the neural crest cells during the pre-tooth bud stage?
Yet to be fully determined
What does the epithelium specify?
The “dental nature” of the mesenchyme
What does the mesenchyme specify?
The tooth type (incisor vs. molar) and nature of the product produced by the epithelium (i.e., enamel matrix)
What is present during the induction stage that occurs at 6-7 weeks?
Oral ectoderm
Neural crest cells
dental lamina
What occurs during the induction stage that occurs at 6-7 weeks?
- ectoderm invaginates into the mesenchyme, and is now called the dental lamina
What is the lamina separated from the surrounding mesenchyme by?
A basement membrane
What makes the transition into dental lamina?
Proliferating oral ectoderm
What stage is this?
And label
Cap stage
Red: dental lamina
Purple: enamel organ
Yellow: outer enamel epithelium
Green: stellate reticulum
Orange: inner enamel epithelium
At what stage can all layers of the enamel organ be differentiated?
Bell stage
What cells make up the O.E.E?
Cuboidal cells
What do O.E.E do?
Protective barrier
What cells make up the I.E.E?
Cuboidal cells
What do the I.E.E differentiate into?
Ameloblasts
What cells make up the stellate reticulum?
Star-shaped cells forming network inside enamel organ
What is the function of the stellate reticulum?
Supportive function in enamel production
What cells make up the stratum intermedium?
Compressed layer of flat cuboidal cells
What is the function of the stratum intermedium?
Supportive function in enamel production
What makes up the dental sac?
Collagen fibers around enamel organ
What does the dental sac differentiate into?
Cementum, PDL, and bone
What do cells of the dental papilla nearest IEE have?
Basement membrane separation
What do the outer cells of the dental papilla differentiate into?
Odontoblasts
What do the inner cells of the dental papilla differentiate into?
Pulp tissue
What is a cervical loop?
Junction of the outer and inner enamel epithelia
