6th and 7th week in embryo
Name the stages of tooth formation
Initiation Stage, Bud Stage, Cap Stage, Bell Stage, Maturation Stage
How is the dental lamina formed and what will form there later?
formed from the invagination of oral epithelium into the ectomesenchyme. teeth will form there
What is induction?
theactive interaction between embryologic tissues
What does the outer ectoderm of an embryo's stomodeum give rise to?
Oral epithelium
What separates the oral epithelium and the ectomesenchyme?
a basment membrane

missing teeth as a result of the lack of initiaion within the dental lamina

8th week
What main physiological process occurs in the initiation stage?
induction
What main physiological process occurs in the bud stage?
proliferation
Describe the proliferation in the bud stage
the dental lamina proliferates into buds or oval masses that penetrate into the mesenchyme.Both the future maxillary arch and mandibular arch will have 10 buds each
What makes up the tooth germ?
enamel organ, dental papilla and dental sac
When does the cap stage occur?
9th and 10th week
What physiological process occurs during the cap stage?
morphogenesis
What is the enamel organ?
a depression in the deepest part of each tooth bud of dental lamina forming the cap
What is the enamel knot?
The innermost margin of the cap shape of the enamel organ
How is the dental papilla formed?
a part of the ectomesenchyme deep to the buds condenses into a mass within the concavity of the cap of the enamel organ
What does the dental papilla later produce?
dentin and pulp
The basement membrane between the enamel organ and the dental papilla later becomes what?
the site of the future dentinoenamel junction
What is the dental sac?
the remaining ectomesenchyme surrounding the outised of the cap or enamel organ
The dental sac is also referred to as:
the dental follicle
What does the dental sac later produce?
The periodontium: cementum, periodontal ligament and alverolar bone
When does the bell stage occur?
11th and 12th week
What is the main physiological process that occurs in the bell stage? And why is it called that?
Differentiation. Because at the end of this stage, 4 different types of cells are found within the enamel organ
What are the 4 different cell types found at the end of the bell stage?
1. Inner Enamel Epithelium (IEE) 2. Outer Enamel Epithelium (OEE) 3. Stellate reticulum 4. Stratum intermedium
What shape are the OEE cells?
cuboidal
What shape are the IEE cells?
tall columnar
What kind of cells do the IEE differentiate into?
ameloblasts
What are the star shaped cells called?
Stellate reticulum
What are the innermost cells of the enamel organ called?
Stratum intermedium
The dental papilla differentiates into what 2 layers?
1. Outer cells of the dental papilla 2. Central cells of the dental papilla
What creates dentin and where does it originate from?
odontoblasts coming from the outer cells of the dental papilla
Which layer of dental papilla becomes the pulp?
Central cells of the dental papilla
What is an extracellular substance that is partially mineralized and serves as a framework for later mineralization?
dental matrix
When is the stage of maturation reached?
When the matrices of the hard dental tissue types are fully mineralized.
preameloblasts differentiate from...?
IEE
The movement of cells' nuclei in the IEE cells is referred to as...?
repolarization
preameloblasts have two distinct roles in odontogenesis. What are they?
1. they induce the Outer cells of the dental papilla to differentiate into odontoblasts 2.then the preameloblasts differentiate into ameloblasts
Which cells begin their roles first? Odontoblasts or Ameloblasts?
Odontoblasts
What must occur for the preameloblasts to differentiate into ameloblasts?
The basement membrane between the preameloblasts and the odontoblasts must disintegrate and the contact between them now is what induces the change
What is dentinogenesis?
The apposition of predentin (or dentin matrix)
What is amelogenesis?
The apposition of enamel matrix
What is the angled part of each ameloblast that is created as the ameloblasts move away from the dentin interface?
Tomes' process
What does the Tomes' process secret?
the enamel matrix
As the odontoblasts move away from the DEJ, they leave attached cellular processes called _______ that are contained in a mineralized cylinder called ______.
odontoblastic process, dentinal tubule
When does root development begin?
Long after the crown is completely shaped and the tooth is starting to erupt into the oral cavity
What is responsible for root formation?
The cervical loop
What makes up the cervical loop?
IEE and OEE
What is the function of HERS?
to shape the root(s) by inducing dentin formation in the root area so that it is continuous with coronal dentin
When does cementogenesis occur?
After HERS disintegrates
When dental sac cells and and the dentin surface of the root make contact, the dental sac cells differentiate into what?
cementoblasts
What is cementoid?
the cementum matrix that later mineralizes to form cementum
What are cementocytes?
cementoblasts that become entrapped by the cementum they produce
What are Sharpey's Fibers?
PDL fibers that are formed from collagen fibers from the mesenchyme cells of the dental sac
How is the alveolar bone formed?
Mesenchyme cells from the dental sac differentiate into osteoblasts which produce the alveolar bone
What is active eruption?
the actual vertical movement of the tooth
What is the dental cuticle and what produces it?
An acellular matrix that covers the enamel before tooth eruption. It is produced by ameloblasts
What is the eruption rate?
1mm/3months
Describe how the tooth actively erupts
REE forms over the enamel surface of the tooth and fuses with the oral epithelium. Enzymes from the REE disintegrate a small hole in the oral cavity lining for the tooth to erupt through
The REE peels off the crown and only remains where? What does this portion become?
It only remains attached at the CEJ and serves as the temporary junctional epithelium
What is Nasmyth's membrane?
A green-gray residue that may be on the newly erupted teeth causing it to look stained. It is made up of REE, oral epithelium and the dental cuticle
Where do the succedaneous teeth usually erupt? Which ones are the exceptions?
On the lingual side, except for the maxillary incisors which erupt facially
What is the REE composed of?
Outer enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum and stratum intermedium
What do odontoclasts do?
Resorb dentin, cementum and even enamel
What is the definition of tooth eruption?
a combination of bodily movement of teeth, which brings them into occlusion

can be caused during cap stage. "Tooth within a tooth"
What is gemination?
When the tooth germ tries unsuccessfully to divide. Only has one pulp cavity but looks like 2 teeth at the crown
What is fusion?
When two adjacent teeth fuse together but still have 2 pulp cavities. Looks like a giant tooth. The enamel, dentin and pulp are united, but still 2 pulp cavities
What is enamel hypoplasia?
