Between 20 weeks in utero and 10 months postnatal
When do non-successional permanent teeth begin forming
Between 20 weeks in utero and 5 years postnatal
What causes the increase in size and number of teeth
The increase in jaw size
What are the CT components of the tooth
dental papillae & dental follicle
What is the epithelial component of the tooth
The enamel organ
Enamel Organ
Derived from the epithelium of Maxillary and Mandibular Processes from Branchial Arch 1

determines the shape of the crown

initiates development of the root

assists in eruption of the tooth
What are the stages of tooth development
dental lamina = initiation of development

- bud stage = proliferation of cells

- cap stage = proliferation of cells

- bell stage = morphodifferentiation (change in shape) & histodifferentiation (change in tissues)

- crown stage = apposition of calcified tissues
Dental Lamina
Initial stage of tooth development
Bud stage
Stage of tooth development where there is proliferation of cells
Cap stage
Stage of tooth development after bud stage where there is further proliferation of cells
Bell stage
Stage of tooth development after cap stage where there is morphodifferentiation and histodifferentiation
Morphodifferentiation
Change in shape
Histodifferentiation
Change in tissue
Crown stage
Stage of tooth development after bell stage where there is apposition of calcified tissues
What is the first enamel organ to develop
Anterior mandible
When does the 2nd permanent molar start development
1st year postnatal
When does the 3rd permanent molar start development
5 year postnatal
What occurs if the dental lamina fails to degenerate
You result in supernumerary teeth
Epidermal Growth Factor
EGF

Inhibits mesenchyme and stimulates epithelial proliferation that leads to formation of dental lamina

retinoids & Vitamin-A are suspected to be involved

in the embryo, EGF is made by osteogenic, chondrogenic, odontogenic cells

in the embryo, EGF is made by osteogenic, chondrogenic, odontogenic cells
Vit A deficiency in fetus
May adversely affect formation of enamel and dentin tissues and cells due to it's involvement with Epidermal Growth Factor in the formation of dental lamina
Which tissue is dominant before bud stage?
Epithelium

Therefore, Odontogenic epithelium initially induces the differentiation of ectomesenchyme
Which tissue is dominate after bud stage
Ectomesenchyme

Therefore, ectomesenchym reciprocates and determines the fate of the epithelium
What occurs if you put odontogenic epithelium into mesenchyme of some other area (like arm) early in tooth development
You'll get a tooth forming in the arm because the epithelium is what dictated tooth formation at that point in time
What would happen if you took away the odontogenic epithelium from the stomadeum and leave only mesenchyme later in the tooth development
Tooth would still form in the mouth because the ectomesenchyme is what dictated tooth formation at that time
Inner Enamel Epithelium
Later becomes ameloblasts that will form enamel
Cervical Loop
Gives rise to HERS and Diaphragm which gives rise to root formation
Hertwigs Epithelial Root Sheath
Gives rise to root formation
Dental Papilla
Derived from neural crest ectomesenchyme

Cells closets to IEE gives rise to Odontoblasts

Cells in the middle gives rise to fibroblasts of pulp
Dental Follicle/Sac
Gives rise to fibroblasts of PDL

Gives rise to cementoblasts that will form cementum of root

Gives rise to osteoblasts that will form supporting alveolar bone
Permanent Tooth Anlage
Development of the second dental lamina forming the successional tooth bud

Forms lingual to the primary tooth
What causes establishment of the crown shape?
Initially primary and secondary enamel knots
What do permanemt molars arise from
They don't arise from anlage because they are not successional

They form from distal extension of dental lamina called lateral lamina
Stratum Intermedium
Demonstrates alkaline phosphatase activity

Indication of mineralization
Stellate Reticulum
Secretes GAGs to attrack water into the enamel organ to push cells apart
When does bud stage end
When dentinogenesis begins
Membrana Preformative
Thickened basement membrane between inner enamel epithelium and dental papilla prior to dentinogenesisi

Induces the dental papilla to differentiate into odontoblasts
What induces the dental papilla to differentiate into odontoblasts?
Membrana Preformativa
What are the stages of ameloblastic life?
Morphogenic
Differentiation/Organizing
Crown/Secretory/Apposition/Formative
Maturation
Protective
Desmolytic
Morphogenic State
1st stage of Ameloblastic life

start making the shape of the tooth at the end of Cap Stage

IEE cells are cuboidal w/ central nucleus & scattered mitochondria

enamel organ & dental papilla form the Enamel Knot
Differentiation / Organizing Stage
Second stage of Ameoblastic Life

IEE cells are elongating w/ organelles migrating basally

ready to become ameloblasts to secrete proteins

IEE cells induce its adjacent neighbors in the dental papilla to differentiate into odontoblasts
Crown Stage
3rd Stage of Ameloblastic Life

REE forms

dentinogenesis

formation of early enamel matrix
Maturation Stage
4th stage of Ameloblastic Life

immediate mineralization of the previous layer of enamel
Protective Stage
5th stage of Ameloblastic Life

ameloblasts secrete an amorphous substance to make their own basement membrane

they attach to the enamel surface via hemidesmosomes

prevents the surrounding CT cells from becoming cementoblasts and depositing cementum onto the enamel surface
Desmolytic Stage
6th and Final Stage of Ameloblastic Life

REE begins to proliferate

REE induces atrophy of the surrounding CT

REE secretes enzymes to digest its way through the CT for eruption

REE will later contribute to the formation of the Junctional Epithelium
Crown Stage
GAG's in Stellate Reticulum breaks down and can no longer bind to water therefore Stellate Reticulum begins to collapse

This allows IEE and OEE to start to approach each other

Dentinogenesis induces amelogenesis

Prepares for eruption
Mantle Dentin
earliest dentin that gets laid down

located nearest the DEJ

it is always Primary Dentin

stains w/ silver

contains large Korff’s Fibers
Circumpulpal Dentin
gets laid down after Mantle Dentin

located nearest the pulp

can be Primary Dentin if it was laid down before the tooth finished formation

can be Secondary Dentin if it was laid down after the tooth finished formation

does not stain silver
Primary Dentin
laid down before the tooth finished formation

can be Mantle or Circumpulpal

located in most of the crown and 2/3 of the root
Secondary Dentin
laid down after the tooth finished formation

can never be Mantle

Divides into secondary regular and irregular dentin
Secondary Regular Dentin
laid down after the tooth finished formation

has a uniform distribution w/ parallel dentinal tubules
Secondary Irregular Dentin
laid down after the tooth finished formation

has localized non-uniform distribution w/ un-parallel dentinal tubules

AKA Tertiary Reparative Dentin
Which tissue has a lag phase between being laid down by the cells and mineralization?
Dentin has a lag phase

Enamel does not (it immediately begins to resorb and mineralize)

What protein constitutes 90% of the early enamel matrix?
Amelogenin
Enamelin
Proteins of Early Enamel Matrix

associated w/ the earliest layer of hypermineralized enamel at the DEJ
