What does the dental papilla form?
future dentin and pulp tissue
What does the enamel organ form?
Enamel
What is the dental sac or follicle and what does it form?
Connective tissue that surrounds part of the enamel organ and papill. It forms the PDL, cementum, and alveolar bone
What does the tooth germ consist of?
Enamel organ, dental papilla and the dental sac/follicle

When does the Bell stage occur?
weeks 11-12
what happens during the bell stage?
tooth germ grows and changes to a bell0shape and there are 4 distinguishable enamel organ layers at this time
During the bell stage what are the four layers of the enamel organ and what do they do?
1. Outer enamel epithelium--layer of cuboidal cells, that oraganizes a netwrok of capillaries that brings nutrition to the ameloblasts. 2:Stellage reticulum-just inside the OEE, loose network of star shaped epithelial cells. 3:Stratum intermedium between the stellate reticulum and IEE-closely packed, flat epithelial cells. ASSIST the ameloblasts in the formation of enamel. 4. Inner enamel epithelium-lines inside of the enamel organ-single layer of cuboidal cells which become AMELOBLASTS that form the enamel.
What happens to the dental papilla during the bell stage?
Differentiates into two types of tissue layers. 1:Outer cell-Odontoblasts (dentin secreting cells), 2:Central cells of the dental papilla-become dental pulp
When the enamel organ's inner and outer epithelial cells layers meet are are continuous with each other what is formed? When is this formed? What else happens at this time?
Cervical loop is formed during the end of the Bell Stage. At this time, Mesenchymal cells migrate from the periphery of the enamel organ to start development of the future periodontium.
What are the two main cellular players during the Appositional Stage? What separates these two cell types initially? What happens during the Appositional Stage?
Ameloblasts are formed by the inner enamel epithelium when cuboidal cells elongate into columnar cells. Odontoblasts are formed by peripheral cells of the dental papilla changing into columnar cells. The Basement membrane separates the two. During this stage after the cells have differentiated, formation of the partially hard tissue begins--enamel and dentin.

What is dentinogenesis? Does it happen before or after amelogenesis?
Apposition of dentin matrix or predentin on their side of the basement membrane. This always happens before amelogenesis (but it starts almost immediately after)
when does the basement membrane dissolve?
During dentinogenesis. After the odontoblasts form predentin it disolves and allows the preameloblasts to come into contact with the newly formed predentin
What induces the preameloblasts to differentiate into ameloblasts?
The dissolving of the basement membrane and subsequent contact with the newly formed predentin

A mineralized cylinder or dentinal tubule
Where do the cell bodies of odontoblasts reside?
They remain in the pulp tissue and retain the ability to repair
Do ameloblasts remain functional throughout life?
No. These cells will be involved in the eruption and mineralizastion process but are lost after eruption. Enamel can't be replaced
What is the apposition of enamel matrix or laying down enamel on the side of the disintigrating basement membrane called?
Amelogenesis. This always starts after dentinogenesis
What cells are active during amelogenesis?
Ameloblasts
Where is the enamel matrix secreted from on an ameloblast? What direction is the enamil matrix secreted towards?
Tomes' process (an angled part of each ameloblast that faces the disintegrating basement membrane created as the ameloblasts move away from the dentin interface)
What happens when the dintegrating basement membrane begins to mineralize?
The dentinoenamel junction is formed (DEJ)
What appears at the junction of the cell body and tomes' processes to maintain contact of the ameloblasts?
Terminal bar apparatus
During what stage do the dental tissues fully mineralize?
During the maturation stage which varies according to the tooth
What happens during the maturation stage? Where does this begin?
Minerals are deposited shortly after the matrix is formed001st mineralized at the DEJ

When do roots form?
As the crown is compteley shaped and the tooth begins to erupt. (A tooth froms from the "top down")
Where does root formation begin>?
through the formation of a cervical loop--the most cervical portion of the enamel/dental organ
What are the two layers of the cervical loop and what is each layer involved in the formation of?
Inner Enamel Epithelium-forms the inner cell layer of the root sheath wich form odontoblasts/dentin and The Outer Enamel Epithelium-which forms the outer cell layer which funcions in the deposition of intermediate cementum.

Inner enamel epithelium-dentin. Outer enamel epithelium-cementum.
When the cervical loop begins to grow down into the dental sac what is formed?
Hertwig's Root Sheath

Produces cell for root lenthening
what is present during the later stages of root development?
Cementoblasts, PDL fibers, and epithelial rests
When does cementogenesis begin, how does it begin, and what cells are involved?
Occurs upon degradation of the root sheath which allows contact of the dental sace cells with the dentin surface--this inducted the formation of cementoblast cells
What is cementogenesis? Do they lay down calcified cementum?
When cementoblasts cover the root dentin and lay down non-calcified cementoid on the intermediate cementum (from the outer enamel epithelium)
When Is cementiod converted to cementum?
Upon mineralizion of the cementoid
During root formation what forms the pulp?
The central cells of the dental papilla
Which tissue do cementoblasts arise from?
the dental sac cells
Where is the cemntum less cellular?
Towards the CEJ
How are multi-rooted teeth formed? What is the rol of the epithelial diaphragm
All teeth begin as a single root-root trunk, then due to differential growth of the root sheath there is a division of the root trunk into 2 or 3 roots. The epithelial diaphragm grows,makes contact and fuses to develop 2 or 3 roots
What forms the PDL and alveolar bone?
The mesenchymal cells from the dental sac or follicle
Where do the PDL fibers insert into?
The outer layer of cementum and alveolar bone
What are the islands of epithelial cells that develop from the disintegrating of the root sheath? What is their funcion?

What type of cells form the alveolar process?
Osteoblasts (originate from mesenchymal cells in the dental sac/follicle)
What is the difference between active and passive eruption?
Active-vertical movement of the tooth, Passive-occurs with aging, recession-no actual tooth movement
What are some examples of passive eruption?
supereruption, mesial drift and eruption due to attrition
What are the 3 phases involved in eruption
1. Pre-eruptive phase 2. Pre-functional phase 3. Functional phase
Is eruption a static process?
Eruption is a continuous process that ends only with tooth loss
Which phase of tooth eruption includes the time of tooth initiation until the time of crown completion?
Pre-eruptive phase
What is happening during the pre-eruptive phase?-primary teeth, jaws, permanent teeth?
crowns are forming, jaws lengthern, teeth make mesial and distal movements AND permanent teeth adjust their position to the resorptive roots of the primary teeth
What marks the beginning and end of the pre-functional eruptive phase?
Starts with root formation and ends when teeth reach occlusal contact
What four major events mark the pre-funcional eruptive stage?
1. Root formation (proliferation of the root sheath and root dentin and pulp inside) 2. Movement (Incisal or occlusal movement due to the need for space of the enlarging roots-reduced enamel epithelium fuses with oral epithelium) 3. Penetration (into oral cavity) 4. Intraoral occlusal or incisal movement (until clinical contact with the opposing crown occurs, apical shift of gingival attachment).
During what event does the reduced enamel epithelium fuse with the oral epithelium? What is formed by this?
Movement (of Pre-Functional Eruptive Phase). REE forms juncional epithelium
What happens to the gingival attachment during the intraoral occlusal or incisal movement of the pre-functional eruptive phase?
It shifts apically
What forms the eruption pathway>
The dental follicle. An inverted triangular area of degenerating connective tissue forms
The follicular fibers that guide teeth movements during eruption are called?
Gubernacular cord
What two types of cells are involved in breaking down the tissues so that teeth can erupt?
Macrophages-release enzymes that help with the tissue destruction. Osteoclasts are between the teeth ard the bone that will be resorbed.
How is primary teeth root dentin resporbed?
Similar to bone resorption
What do Osteoclasts do during the pre-functional eruption phase? How do they achieve this? What do they do to maximize their efficiency?
Resorb hard tissue by secreting hydrolytic enzymes. They become modified (enfolded) producing a ruffled border which increases their surface area and maximizes their resorption function
What are the two phases of hard tissue resorption?
1. Extracellular-mineral is separated from collagen 2. Intracellular-osteoclasts ingest these fragments
Which cells help to dissolve the remaining collagen fibers and then utilize the amino acids from the breakdown to form new bone?
Fibroblast-fibroclast cells during the pre-functional phase
What is happening around the teeth during the prefunctional phase (ligaments and bone)?
As roots develop fibers begin to attach to the cervical area, as the root lengthens more fibers appear. Which root formation, alveolar bone accommodates. Once in occlusion the fibers organize and increase in density forming the periodontal ligament.
When is the periodontal ligament formed
starts during the prefunctional phase of eruption but doesn't complete until the tooth is in occlusion
What is the region at the root apex that accommodates the growing root with changes in the surrounding soft tissue and bone?
The fundic region
What type of cells are abundant in the fundic region and what do they do?
Fibroblasts-form collagen fibers and calcified trabeculae at the apex. Network helps to support tooth
Which eruptive stage are our teeth currently in?
The functional eruptive phase which occurs after the teeth are functioning and as long as they are present
When does root completion occur?
Continues after occlusion. About 1-1.5 years for primary and 2-3 years for permanent
What happens once roots are complete (bone and PDL)?
Bone increases density and the PDL fibers increase in dimension and mature orientation
With attrition, teeth lose height…what mechanism compensates for this loss?
Teeth erupt more. Cementum is deposited at the root apex and the furcation area in multirooted teeth
What are the 4 types of tooth movement?
1. Occlusal 2. Horizontal 3. Rotational & Lateral 4. mesial drift
What is mesial drift? Explain what is going on when this happens
lateral movement of teeth on both sides of the mouth towards the midline. Contacts wear due to mastication. Pressure on the mesial side of the socket causes resrption of lamina dura and tension of the PDL on the distal side causes growth--this causes a shift in position of the tooth socket.
How are 1st molars different in their eruption than 2nd and 3rd molars (permanent)? Why?
!st molar develop in approximately the same position as where they erupt. 2nd and 3rd molars have to rotate to emergin in correct relationship of other teeth. The mandible and maxilla are too small to accommodate these during the time of development.
Where do MN 2nd and 3rd molars develop? MX molars?
MN-develop in ramus of the mandible with occlusal surfaces towards the mesial (Impaction is when there is inadequate jaw development and improper rotation). MX-develop in the MX tuberosity with their occlusal surfaces directed buccally and distally
Having 2 dentitions
Diphyodont
Loss of primary dentition by the physiologic resprption of their roots
Shedding
How are primary teeth different that permanent in terms of enamel, dentin, pulp and nerves?
Primary enamel-prismless (hard to etch for sealants), 1/2 thickness, less pigmented--whiter. Primary dentin-softer Primary pupls are larger and Primary teeth have less nerves
