Cap Stage

Bell stage

Apposition stage

Maturation stage

New cards

Proliferation vs diffreneation

Pro- cell dividing

Diff- cell lose division powers → morph into their functinal assignment

4
New cards

morphogrnisis

estblish of shape and size of future tooth ( acheived by diffrential growth)

5
New cards

Dental lamina

  • (1st stage of crown formation)

  • ectomesenchyme cells induce(turn on) oral epithelium => forms a horseshoe shaped ridge for both jaws

  • The epithelial ridge becomes the dental lamina

think the forming of the shoe

New cards

Bud stage

Proliferation of dental epithelial cells

  • ten locations on each dl

  • Ectomesenchyme induction of primary tooth buds(early enamel organs)= tooth stage u can see when the teeth form

  • Ecromesenchyme condenses around epithelial bud

Cap stage

Morphodifferentiation= unequal prolifation of bud cells => form a cap like structure(enamel organ)

Cytodiffrentiation= 4 cell layers

Ectomesenchyme cells still condense around cap => will become dental papilla (DP) and Dental sac(DS)

  • tooth germ fully formed

  • successional dental lamina on lingual side of dental lamina give rise to enamel ofgans of successsional teeth

15
New cards

Enamel organ: Inner enamel epithelium (IEE)

  • Differentiate into Ameloblast (forms enamel)

  • induces diffrentiation of adjacent cells of dental papilla into odontoblast


16
New cards

Enamel Organ: Straum intermedium

layer of spindle shaped cells adjacent to IEE cells

Supports enamel mineralization= alkaline phosphate

17
New cards

Enamel organ: stellate reticulum

cells secrete glycosaminoglycans→ GAG draws water into enamel organ→ increases enamel organs volume

18
New cards

Enamel Organ: Outer enamel Epithelium (OEE)

  • enamel organ outer protective barrier

  • accociated with capillary plexus


19
New cards

Cervical loop

junction of OEE and IEE.

in bell stage

<p>junction of OEE and IEE.</p><p>in bell stage</p>
20
New cards

how are DP and DS cells proliferating in the bell stage

Yes

DP:

  • outer DP cells (future odontoblast)

  • Inner DP cells

DS:

  • do proliferate BUT dont become periodontal tissue until later stage


21
New cards

Apposition Stage

  • Organic matrix of enamel + dentin are laid down and followed by initial calcificarion

  • reciprocal inducrions occur between enamel organ and dental papilla


22
New cards

Reciprocal inductions order

(happens in spposition stage)


IEE become Premeloblast→ premeloblast tell other DP cells to become Preodontablast→ perodontablast then diffrentiate into odontoblast→ odontoblast sectete dentin matrix, predention and induce preameloblast to become secretory ameloblast→ secretory amelobt secrete enamel matrix which immediatlly calcifies to 30%


Dentin forms before enamal

23
New cards

Tomes process

an apical cytoplasmic extension of a secretory ameloblast

has proximal and distal poriton


(apposition stage)

<p>an apical cytoplasmic extension of a secretory ameloblast</p><p>has proximal and distal poriton</p><p></p><p>(apposition stage)</p>
24
New cards

Tomes process Proximal vs distal portion

Proximal - contacts adjacent ameloblasts on their sides and forms interod enamel.

Distal- interdigitates with the forming enamel, and forms enamel rod
