Study Notes
Dental Lamina Formation (Weeks 6-8)
- Oral epithelial cells in mandibular and maxillary prominences form a primary epithelial band.
- In week 7, this band divides into the dental lamina and vestibular lamina.
- The dental lamina follows the developing dental arches' outline.
- Week 8: The dental lamina forms dental placodes, which will become each tooth.
- Placodes are surrounded by ectomesenchymal cells.
- Interactions between oral epithelium and ectomesenchyme initiate tooth development via basement membrane interactions.
Vestibular Lamina Formation (Week 7)
- Forms adjacent to dental lamina.
- Gives rise to the vestibule (space between teeth and lip).
- Basement membrane separates oral epithelium and ectomesenchyme, facilitating interactions.
Bud Stage (Weeks 9-10)
- Dental placode cells proliferate, forming a bud.
- The bud penetrates underlying ectomesenchyme, forming enamel organ.
- One enamel organ per tooth.
Cap Stage (Week 11)
- Enamel organ hollows out, resembling a cap shape.
- Ectomesenchymal cells proliferate rapidly to form dental papilla (DP).
- Ectomesenchymal cells surround DP and enamel organ, forming dental follicle (DF).
Bud and Cap Stage Morphogenesis
- Morphogenesis (development of shape) occurs during transition between bud and cap stages, shaping tooth crown.
- Enamel knot directs cusp shape development.
Bell Stage (Early & Late)
- Enamel organ changes further, mapping tooth crown's size and shape, including occlusal details.
- Enamel organ separates from dental lamina.
- Bell stage has two parts:
- Early bell stage
- Late bell stage
Histodifferentiation at Bell Stage
- Cell differentiation (histodifferentiation) takes place.
- Enamel organ and dental papilla cells differentiate into distinct cell types.
Early Bell Stage: Enamel Organ Differentiation
- Outer enamel epithelium (OEE): cuboidal cells, eruption.
- Stellate reticulum (SR): star-shaped cells, amelogenesis.
- Stratum intermedium (SI): flattened cells, amelogenesis facilitation.
- Inner enamel epithelium (IEE): tall columnar, differentiates into ameloblasts.
Early Bell Stage: Dental Papilla Differentiation
- Ectomesenchymal cells differentiate into odontoblasts (dentinogenesis) along the periphery.
- Pulpal cells (P): form tooth pulp in center.
Late Bell Stage
- Cellular differentiation is complete, enamel organ matures.
- Crown formation begins:
- Amelogenesis: formation of enamel.
- Dentinogenesis: formation of dentin.
Oral Mucosa Embryology
- Oral mucosa lines oral cavity.
- Oral epithelial cells (vestibular lamina, lingual regions) undergo proliferation, migration, and differentiation for function.
- Mucosa types: masticatory, lining, specialized (gingiva).
- Underlying ectomesenchymal cells form lamina propria and submucosa.
