When does amelogenesis occur

Only during the tooth development

The shape of the rods are

Keyhole, cut in cross section spec

Specific shape of rods relate the the specific shape of

Tome’s process of ameloblasts

Rods are separated by

Thin rods/prism sheaths

Enamel is laid down in regular increments called

Rod Segment

Represent areas of less mineralized bc HA crystals are not as tightly packed where there is abrupt change in crystal orientation from one rod to another

Rod sheaths

Relationships of the rod to the ameloblast is at

An angle

Each rod is formed by ____ ameloblasts

4

Head is formed by _____ ameloblasts

1

Tail is formed by _____ ameloblasts

3

*Each ameloblasts contributes to the formation of four different rods

*

Forms when ameloblast lacks a distinct tones process

Aprismatic enamel

The direction of enamel rods is

Perpendicular to the DEJ and the tangent of the outer enamel surface

Bundles of rods appear to intertwined irregularly, below the cusp/ incisal edges

Gnarled enamel

Represents the histologic manifestation of the normal diurnal activity

Incremental lines

Represents the histologic manifestation of a disruption of the normal diurnal activity of ameloblasts

Stripes of retzius

Represents the clinical manifestation of a disruption of the normal diurnal activity of ameloblasts

Perkikymata

Optical effect of the alternating directions of groups of rods near the DEJ

Hunter-Schreger bands

Manifestation of areas of hypo mineralization along planes of tension as rods change their direction near the DEJ

Enamel tufts

Represents the extension of odontoblastic processes and associated dentinal tubules from the dentin into the enamel near the DEJ

Enamel spindles

Fractures to enamel that occurred during and after tooth development and that fill in with organic materials

Enamel lamellae

Scalloped with peak or convections directed toward dentin

Dentinoenamel junction

Age changes of enamel

Attrition


Loss of perikymata


post eruptive maturation


continues after tooth irruption

Enamel formation follows a directional pattern, taking place first along the future DEJ in the _______ area and then progressing toward the _______ area

Occlusal


Cervical

*Enamel matrix undergoes maturation along the entire length of the rod once all segments of enamel matrix have been laid down

*

Predispose one to varies by providing a pathway for the spread of caries

Enamel lamellae

Caries spread laterally at the DEJ due to hypomineralized

enamel tufts and enamel spindles

Is the general term used to describe the functional epithelial component making up a saliva gland

Parenchyma

Is the general term used to describe the supporting CT which surrounds and invests a salivary gland

Stroma

CT which surrounds the entire gland

Capsule

The investing CT fibers are referred to as the

Septa

These CT fibers divide the parenchyma of the gland into sections

Lobules

The innervation that is watery, high enzyme but low organic

Parasympathetic

The innervation that is viscous, low enzyme, but high organic

Sympathetic

The portion of the gland that produces saliva

Acinus

Acinus that produces a watery high protein material

Serous

Acinus that produces a viscous substance rich in glycoproteins

Mucous

Acinus that consists of mucous cells capped with serous cells at their distal ends

Mucoserous

Ducts that are found in the intralobular

Intercalated and striated

Smallest duct lined by simple cuboidal epithelium

Intercalated

Duct that is lined by columnar cells

Striated

Duct actively involved in modification of primary secretion

Striated

Ducts found in the lobules

Intralobular

Ducts found within CT septa

Interlobular ducts

Cells that surround the acinar cells and cells of the intercalated ducts

Myoepithelial

Gland : Stenson’s duct

Parotid

The parotid gland is what type of acinus

Serous

Function of the parotid gland

Cleansing


Dissolving


Digestive

Main contributor to stimulated daytime saliva

Parotid

The percentage of saliva that the parotid papillae produces

30%

Gland: Wharton’s duct

Submandibular

The percentage of saliva that the submandibular produces

60%

The acinus that the submandibular gland produces is

Mixed but Mostly serous

Function of the submandibular gland

Digestive


Lubricative

Gland : Bartholins ducts

Sublingual

Gland : Rivians duct

Sublingual

The acinus produces by the sublingual gland is

Mixed, mostly mucous

Function of the sublingual gland

Lubricative

The gland that is is the main contributor of non-stimulated daytime saliva

Submandibular

What acinus is the buccal/labial mucosa

Mixed, mainly mucosa

What acinus is the hard and soft palate

Pure mucosa

What acinus is the glands of blaming and huhn

Mixed, mostly mucous

What acinus is vonEbner glands

Pure serous

What acinus is the unnamed glands

Pure mucous

Saliva protects enamel by

Is a buffer such as bicarbonate eliminates acidity raising the pH of saliva
