Study Notes
Dental Development
- Dental lamina is the structure responsible for forming the teeth.
- It develops as an extension of the oral epithelium.
- The permanent dentition develops from the distal and lingual processes of the dental lamina
- Deciduous teeth develop from the dental lamina directly
- Permanent molars develop from the distal dental lamina
Stages of Tooth Development
- Bud Stage The first stage of tooth development: formation of a bud-like structure
- Cap Stage The bud develops into a cap-like structure with an enamel organ
- Bell Stage The cap stage matures into a bell stage, where the enamel organ becomes more complex, with the formation of ameloblasts, odontoblasts, and dentin.
- Eruption The tooth moves from the jawbone into the oral cavity at the completion of the bell stage.
Timing of Development
- The development of primary teeth occurs during the 8th to 10th weeks of gestation.
- The development of permanent teeth begins during the 11 to 14 week of gestation
- The eruption of primary teeth occurs between 3 to 30 months of age.
- Permanent tooth eruption occurs between 6 to 25 years of age.
Key Structures
- Enamel Organ: Forms the enamel
- Dental Papilla: Forms the dentin and pulp
- Dental Follicle: Forms the cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone
Anomalies
- Hyperdontia: Presence of supernumerary teeth in addition to the regular number
Genetics of Dental Development
- Autosomal Dominant Pattern: Many dental anomalies are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern
