Study Notes
Embryology
- Study of tissue development
- Oral embryology focuses on oral tissue development
- Embryogenesis is the process of embryological development, involving the formation of tissues and organs
- Three embryonic origins: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm, form the tri-laminar embryonic disc, giving rise to all body tissues
Early Embryogenesis (Week 1-4)
- Week 1: Formation of blastocyst through fertilization, cleavage, proliferation, migration, and differentiation (Zygote - Morula - Blastocyst)
- Weeks 2-3: Three embryonic origins form the tri-laminar embryonic disc
- Weeks 3-4: Highly specialized neural crest cells, derived from ectoderm and neuroectoderm, are key for head, face, and oral cavity development
- Week 4: Embryo takes shape through folds forming the stomodeum, buccal-pharyngeal membrane, and primitive gut
- Week 4: Bulges develop, known as pharyngeal arches, which act as building blocks for the face and oral cavity
Embryogenesis (Week 5-8)
- Development of all tissues, organs, and structures
- Weeks 4-6: Face formation through the fusion of prominences: 1 frontonasal, 2 maxillary, and 2 mandibular
- Weeks 4-7: Tongue development from the 1st, 2nd, and 4th pharyngeal arches
- Anterior 2/3rd forms from the 1st and 2nd arches
- Posterior 1/3rd forms from the 4th arch
- Cellular apoptosis occurs to separate the tongue from the floor of the mouth, leaving the frenulum as an anchor
- Weeks 6-7: Primary palate development through the fusion of frontonasal and medial nasal prominences
- Weeks 7-8: Secondary palate development with palatine shelves growing and fusing at the midline with the primary palate and nasal septum
- Tongue retracts creating space, and the incisive foramen forms at the midline between the primary and secondary palate
- Week 7: Maxilla and mandible undergo ossification
- Each jaw develops neural and alveolar portions
- Support the development of teeth and secondary cartilages
- Support bone growth
Fetal Development (Week 9 - Birth)
- Begins after the first 8 weeks of development
- Embryo is now a fetus
- Development, maturation, and growth of previously formed structures, organs, and body systems
- Fingernails, eyelashes, and hair grow
- Fetus is able to move limbs
Clinical Significance
- Embryogenesis is a complex delicate process
- Malfunctions or interruptions can lead to developmental anomalies
- Aetiology: Genetic or Environmental/Congenital (radiation, medication, illness, hormones, nutritional deficiency)
- Ankyloglossia (tongue-tied): If cellular apoptosis does not occur during tongue development
- Can impact feeding, speech, oral hygiene, and breathing
- Cleft lip and/or palate: If tissues do not fuse properly during development
- Can impact feeding, speech, hearing, tooth development, and oral hygiene
- Anomalies increase the risk of oral disease
Pharyngeal Arches
| Arch | Innervation | Muscles | Artery | Cartilage or Bones |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | Trigeminal nerve (Cranial nerve V) | Muscles of mastication | Aortic arch 1 | Merkel's Cartilage, Mandible, Maxilla, Zygomatic, Squamous portion of temporal, Malleus and incus of ear |
| II | Facial nerve (Cranial nerve VII) | Muscles of facial expression | Aortic arch 2 | Reichert's Cartilage, Hyoid bone |
Embryonic Origins
- Ectoderm (outside layer): Protection (skin, hair, nails, enamel, neural)
- Mesoderm (middle layer): Support (muscles, blood, bone, connective tissues)
- Endoderm (inside layer): Specialist organs (respiratory, digestive systems, etc)
