Study Notes
Tooth Development
- Initiation Stage (6th-7th week): Epithelial cells form the enamel organ, and mesenchymal cells form the dental papilla, which develops into the dental pulp.
- Bud Stage (8th week): Marked by the incursion of epithelium into the mesenchyme, with extensive proliferation and growth of the dental lamina.
- Cap Stage (9th-10th weeks): Characterized by the continuation of the ingrowth of the oral epithelium into the mesenchyme, with the formation of the enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental follicle.
Enamel Organ
- Outer Enamel Epithelium (OEE): Cuboidal shape, forming a protective barrier during enamel production, and may also be called the outer dental epithelium.
- Inner Enamel Epithelium (IEE): Short, columnar cells that differentiate into enamel-secreting cells (ameloblasts), separated from the dental papilla by a basement membrane.
- Stellate Reticulum: A network of star-shaped cells in many layers, supporting enamel production, and located in the center of the enamel organ.
- Stratum Intermedium: An inner layer of compressed flat to cuboidal cells, supporting enamel production.
Dental Papilla
- Acellular Zone: A region below the basement membrane, where the first enamel proteins are laid down.
- Differentiation: Odontoblasts differentiate from the mesenchyme of the dental papilla, induced by pre-ameloblasts.
Tooth Development Stages
- Bell Stage (11th-12th weeks): Continuation of histodifferentiation and morphodifferentiation, with the formation of four types of cells within the enamel organ and two types of cells within the dental papilla.
- Apposition Stage (Dentinogenesis and Amelogenesis): Varies per tooth, with the secretion of enamel, dentin, and cementum.
- Maturation Stage: Varies per tooth, with the completion of tooth development.
Root Formation
- Cervical Loop: The most cervical portion of the enamel organ, consisting of two layers (IEE and OEE), which grows down into the dental sac to form a Hertwig's root sheath.
- Hertwig's Root Sheath: Shapes the root and induces dentin formation in the root area by the odontoblasts of the dental papilla.
- Root Dentin: Forms when the outer cells of the dental papilla are induced to differentiate into odontoblasts, similar to crown area development.
Cementum and Pulp Formation
- Cementogenesis: Occurs in the root area, influenced by Hertwig's root sheath.
- Pulp Formation: Develops from the interaction of the oral epithelial cells and underlying mesenchymal cells.
General Tooth Development
- Human Teeth: 20 primary and 32 permanent teeth, developed from the interaction of oral epithelial cells and underlying mesenchymal cells.
- Similar Developmental Processes: Basic developmental processes are similar for all teeth, despite being anatomic distinct units.
