Study Notes
Odontoblast Cell Differentiation
- The peripheral cells of the dental papilla differentiate into odontoblast cells induced by the inner enamel organ.
Odontoblast Appearance
- Odontoblasts first appear at sites of tooth development during the bell stage.
Odontoblast Location
- Odontoblasts are located adjacent to the pulp, lining the dentine.
Odontoblast Fate
- As more dentine matrix is deposited, odontoblast cells move away from the dentine surface and become smaller, eventually getting embedded in the dentine.
Dentinogenesis Timeline
- Dentinogenesis occurs throughout an individual's life, starting from the bell stage of tooth development and continuing throughout life as dentine is continually deposited.
