Study Notes
Craniofacial Development Biology
- Craniofacial development involves the study of pharyngeal arches, grooves, and pouches, and interactions between epithelial cells and connective tissue.
Cell-Cell Interactions
- Cell-cell interactions play a crucial role in defining the site-specific nature of cell differentiation and proliferation.
- These interactions are dynamic, reciprocal, and sequential.
- Tissue culture experiments have shown that cell-cell interactions play a major role in determining cell differentiation.
- Cytokines and matrix macromolecules interact dynamically and reciprocally to mediate cell-cell interactions.
Pharyngeal Arch Development
- Cranio-caudal pharyngeal arch development involves the formation of pharyngeal arches, grooves, and pouches.
- The basic pharyngeal arch structure consists of muscular and skeletal components, innervation, and pharyngeal arch derivatives.
- Pharyngeal grooves or clefts have a specific fate, and their abnormalities can result in conditions such as branchial arch cysts.
- The hyoid operculum is a critical structure in pharyngeal arch development.
Importance of Embryology in Dentistry
- Understanding embryology is essential for dentists to comprehend anatomy, including complex oro-facial innervation.
- Embryology helps dentists understand what can go wrong, such as clefts, cysts, and abnormalities in tooth movement.
- Embryology provides a foundation for understanding oral medicine and orthodontics.
Developmental Biology
- Developmental biology is the study of processes by which organs grow and develop.
- It involves the genetic control of cell growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis, as well as regeneration and ageing.
- The 4 fundamental aspects of developmental biology are proliferation/growth, pattern formation, morphogenesis, and differentiation.
Tissue Interactions
- Tissue interactions appear to be associated with two general types of phenomena: instructive and permissive.
- Instructive interactions involve the ability of one tissue to determine specific patterns of morphogenesis and differentiation in an associated tissue.
- Permissive interactions involve the ability of an interacting tissue to provide necessary conditions for its partner tissue to progress to full expression of its predetermined phenotype.
