Study Notes
Tooth Development Stages
- Initial Stage: Bud stage is the initial phase of tooth formation.
- Start of Development: Tooth development begins at the 6th week of intrauterine life.
Key Cell Types in Tooth Formation
- Enamel Formation: Ameloblasts are responsible for forming enamel.
- Dentin Formation: Dentin is formed by cells called odontoblasts.
- Cementum Formation: Cementoblasts are the cells that form cementum.
Developmental Processes
- Dental Lamina: Divides into the enamel organ and dental lamina.
- Primary Tooth Development: Deciduous teeth originate from the dental lamina.
- Tooth Regions: The anterior mandibular region is where the first tooth development occurs.
Tooth Development Stages
- Cap Stage: During this stage, the enamel organ takes on its characteristic shape due to unequal growth.
- Bell Stage: Crown shape is determined, and enamel mineralization begins.
- Appositional Stage: Dentin forms before enamel during this phase.
Eruption and Other Conditions
- Tooth Eruption: Involves axial movement toward oral epithelium.
- Anodontia: A condition characterized by the complete absence of teeth.
- Supernumerary Teeth: Refers to the presence of extra teeth.
Histological Structures
- Stellate Reticulum: Located between the outer enamel epithelium and inner enamel epithelium.
- Outer Enamel Epithelium: Provides physical protection and nutrition during tooth development.
- Dental Papilla: Gives rise to dentin and pulp.
Developmental Genetics
- Genetic Conditions: Dentinogenesis imperfecta is characterized by blue-gray discoloration of teeth affecting both primary and permanent teeth.
Miscellaneous
- Hertwig's Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS): Guides root formation during tooth development.
- Ectomesenchyme: Refers to mesenchymal cells involved in tooth formation originating from neural crest cells.
- Tooth Fusion: Results from two tooth germs combining, leading to the formation of a single tooth structure.
- Dental Structures Disintegration: The dental lamina disintegrates as teeth develop, which is important in the development process.
