Flashcards

Tooth Eruption

The process of a tooth breaking through the gum line and becoming visible in the mouth. It involves a complex interplay of biological and mechanical forces.

Tooth Exfoliation

The shedding of primary (baby) teeth to make way for permanent teeth. This process usually occurs in a predictable pattern, starting from the front teeth and moving towards the back.

Embryology

The study of the development of an organism from a single cell to a complex being. It is a crucial field of study in understanding the formation of tissues and organs, including teeth.

Odontoblasts and Ameloblasts

The specialized cells responsible for forming hard tissues like dentin and enamel. These cells work together to create the structure of a tooth.

Enamel

The outer layer of a tooth, composed of a highly mineralized substance that provides the tooth's strength and durability, giving it its characteristic white color.

Bell Stage

Reduced Enamel Epithelium

A protective layer that forms over the tooth crown after amelogenesis is complete and guides the tooth during eruption.

Amelogenesis

Stellate Reticulum

Cells within the enamel organ that play a role in tooth eruption, specifically by guiding the tooth through the gum tissue.

Periodontal Attachment

What are the three phases of tooth eruption?

The three phases of tooth eruption are:

  1. Pre-eruptive: Tooth development within the jawbone.
  2. Active Eruptive: Tooth breaks through the gum line and emerges into the mouth.
  3. Post-eruptive: Tooth continues to erupt until it reaches its final position.

Why is the dento-gingival junction important?

The dento-gingival junction is the area where the tooth and gum tissue meet. It's important because it helps to seal the oral cavity from the inside of the body and also protects the tooth, acting as a barrier.

What is the 'Advanced Bell Stage' of tooth development?

The advanced bell stage refers to a stage of development where the tooth's crown and root are almost complete.

What is the 'Oral Epithelium'?

The oral epithelium is the lining of the mouth. It's responsible for protecting the mouth from infection and injury.

The permanent successor refers to a permanent tooth that will replace a baby tooth.

What happens during the 'Root Formation' stage of tooth development?

The root formation stage of tooth development involves the growth and shaping of the root of the tooth, which will anchor the tooth in the jawbone.

What happens during the 'Active Eruption' stage?

During the active eruption stage, the tooth breaks through the gum and becomes visible in the mouth. This involves a complex interplay of biological and mechanical forces.

What is 'Dento-gingival junction formation'?

Dento-gingival junction formation is the process where the tooth and gum tissue connect. It's essential for the health of the tooth and gum.

Study Notes

Embryology of Eruption and Exfoliation

  • This workbook is for use in conjunction with lectures and powerpoints on the embryology of eruption and exfoliation
  • Learning resources and reading include a textbook, Chapter 10 of Ten Cate's Oral Histology: Development, Structure, and Function(9th edition) and articles:
    • Eruptive Tooth Movement: Craddock HL, Youngson CC. Br Dent J. 2004; 197(7): 385–391. PMID: 15475894
    • Critical review on the theories of tooth eruption by Marks et al. (1996)
    • Recent advances in understanding theories of eruption Rabea A.A. Future Dental Journal, 2018; 4(2): 189-196.
  • Online resources: Atlas of tooth development and eruption (https://www.qmul.ac.uk/dentistry/atlas/); Digital laboratory oral histology slides (http://www.uky.edu/~brmacp/oralhist/module3/lab/oh3main.htm)
  • Lecturer: Miss Lauren Stockham [email protected]
  • Label cells associated with enamel organ in advanced bell stage (stellate reticulum, stratum intermedium, ameloblasts, outer enamel epithelium)
  • Ameloblast cell lifecycle: role complete amelogenesis is
    • Mineralization of enamel matrix secreted by them
    • Reduction in size, forming a protective layer with remaining cells of enamel organ
    • Apoptosis with disappearing stellate reticulum
    • Use of Tome's process to secrete enamel matrix
    • Differentiation into cementoblasts, forming root

Section 2a: Questions During the Session

  • Eruption process of teeth:

    • Starts during bell stage of tooth development
    • Starts after birth for all primary teeth
    • Starts once root formation of a tooth is complete
    • Starts at the same time as crown formation begins

  • Reduced enamel epithelium:

    • Forms a protective layer over tooth root during eruption.
    • Forms from ameloblasts during amelogenesis.
    • Surrounds developing tooth crown during eruption
    • Fuses with oral epithelium to form periodontal attachment with the tooth

Section 2b: Questions Post-Session

  • Three phases of eruption include: primary eruption, permanent eruption, and exfoliation; pre-eruptive, active eruptive, and post-eruptive; crown formation, root formation, and eruption; pre-eruptive, intraosseous, and supraosseous

  • Dento-gingival junction importance:

    • Protect crown with reduced enamel epithelium
    • Seal oral cavity from internal environment
    • Enable tooth eruption
    • Form gingival sulcus with the tooth root

Section 3: Consolidating Knowledge and Understanding

  • Identify and describe 4 stages of development in a diagram (e.g.: Active eruption of primary incisor, root formation of primary incisor, advanced bell stage of permanent successor, dento-gingival junction formation)
  • Label features including permanent successor and oral epithelium

Section 3b: Clinical Application

  • Look at radiographic image and identify any anomalies in tooth eruption patterns

Section 4: Additional Learning

  • Investigate theories of eruption further using recommended articles

Section 5: Glossary of Terms
