Study Notes
Amelogenesis
- Amelogenesis is the formation of enamel.
- It has 4 stages:
- Presecretory
- Secretory
- Transition
- Maturation
- Ameloblasts are the cells that form enamel.
- During the Presecretory stage:
- Odontoblasts secrete predentine matrix
- Predentine mineralizes.
- Basement membrane breaks down.
- Predentine contacts preameloblasts.
- Preameloblasts differentiate into ameloblasts.
- During the Secretory stage:
- Ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix.
- During the Transition stage:
- Ameloblasts retract Tome's process.
- Ameloblasts stop secreting enamel matrix.
- During the Maturation stage:
- Ameloblasts harden the enamel matrix.
- Enamel is 96% mineralized.
- Amelogenesis is complete.
- Ameloblasts have a protective function after eruption.
Dentinogenesis
- Dentinogenesis is the formation of dentine.
- Odontoblasts are the cells that form dentine.
- Dentinogenesis begins before Amelogenesis.
- Dentinogenesis continues throughout life.
- Dentinogenesis is similar to the secretory and maturation stages of amelogenesis.
Coronal Pulp Formation
- During Dentinogenesis, ectomesenchyme cells in the dental papilla form the Coronal Pulp.
- The Coronal Pulp contains:
- Blood vessels
- Lymph tissue
- Nerves
- Fibroblasts
- Stem cells
- Collagen
Tooth Crown Formation Timelines
- Before eruption:
- Enamel formation is complete.
- Ameloblasts transition to a protective function.
- Primary dentine is complete.
- Odontoblasts settle at the periphery of the pulp.
- After eruption:
- No more enamel forms.
- Ameloblast lifecycle is complete.
- Secondary dentine forms slowly throughout life.
- Odontoblasts live at the periphery of the pulp.
Clinical Significance of Timing
- Disturbances in the processes of Amelogenesis and Dentinogenesis can affect the quality or quantity of the tooth tissues.
- This can have an impact on a person's oral health.
Developmental Anomalies
- Developmental anomalies in the enamel can occur due to disturbances in amelogenesis.
- They can impact the quality and quantity of enamel.
- Some examples of enamel developmental anomalies include:
- Amelogenesis imperfecta.
- Enamel hypomineralization.
- Enamel hypoplasia.
- Fluorosis.
- Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH).
Summary:
- Amelogenesis, Dentinogenesis, and Coronal Pulp formation are complex processes.
- They overlap and occur in precise patterns.
- The timing of these processes is crucial for proper tooth development.
- These processes are influenced by various factors, including genetics and environmental factors.
- Disorders or disruptions can affect tooth structure and function, leading to oral health issues.
