Study Notes
Embryonic Origins
- Ectoderm: forms the skin, nervous system, and sensory organs, among other tissues.
- Mesoderm: forms muscle, bone, cartilage, blood, and the circulatory system.
- Endoderm: forms the lining of the digestive and respiratory tracts, as well as some glands.
Neural Crest Cells
- Neural Crest Cells (NCC) are a unique group of cells that arise from the neuroectoderm during embryonic development.
- They migrate extensively throughout the embryo, giving rise to a diverse array of structures.
- NCC contribute to the formation of the: peripheral nervous system, skull bones, melanocytes, connective tissue of the head and neck, and parts of the heart.
Embryonic Development
- Zygote, Morula, Blastocyst: The zygote is the fertilized egg cell. The morula is a solid ball of cells formed by repeated cell division. The blastocyst is a fluid-filled sphere with an inner cell mass that will form the embryo.
- Trilaminar disc: This is a three-layered structure that forms during gastrulation. The three layers are:
- Ectoderm: forms the skin and nervous system.
- Mesoderm: forms muscle, bone, and connective tissue.
- Endoderm: forms the lining of the digestive and respiratory tracts.
- Neural Tube and Neuroectoderm: The neural tube develops from the neuroectoderm and eventually forms the brain and spinal cord.
- Stomodeum: The primary oral cavity forms from the stomodeum, which is an invagination of the ectoderm.
- Branchial Arches: Form during the 4th week of development, these arches give rise to the structures of the face, neck, and head.
- Face: The face develops by the fusion of five facial prominences derived from the branchial arches.
- Palate and Secondary Palate: The palate forms by the fusion of two processes, the palatine shelves, which fuse with the nasal septum and primary palate.
- Tongue: The tongue develops from the first branchial arch (mandibular arch).
- Cleft lip and palate: Occur when the facial prominences or the palatine shelves fail to fuse properly during development.
Branchial Arches
| Branchial Arches | Innervation | Muscles | Artery | Cartilage or bones |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | Trigeminal nerve | Muscles of mastication | Aortic arch 1 | Meckel's cartilage |
| II | Facial nerve | Muscles of facial expression | Aortic arch 2 | Reichert's cartilage |
| III | Glossopharyngeal nerve | Stylopharyngeus muscle | Aortic arch 3 | Hyoid bone |
| IV | Vagus nerve | Muscles of the larynx | Aortic arch 4 | Hyoid bone |
| V | Vagus nerve | Muscles of the larynx | Aortic arch 5 | Incus |
| VI | Vagus nerve | Muscles of the larynx | Aortic arch 6 | Stapes |
Embryology of Oral Tissues
- Dental Lamina: Forms as a thickening of the oral epithelium, marking the future location of teeth.
- Enamel Organ: Develops from the dental lamina, and determining the shape of the tooth. The cells differentiate to prepare for odontogenesis, the formation of teeth.
- Dental Papilla: The dental papilla is the underlying ectomesenchyme that will give rise to dentin and pulp.
- Dental Follicle: Surrounding the dental papilla, the dental follicle will form cementum, periodontal ligament.
Embryology of the Crown
Odontogenesis Pathway:
- Outer Enamel Epithelium (OEE)
- Stellate Reticulum
- Stratum Intermedium
- Inner Enamel Epithelium (IEE)
- Pre-Ameloblasts
- Ameloblasts
- Dental Papilla
- Pre-Odontoblasts
- Odontoblasts
- Pulpal cells
Crown Stages:
- Stage 1: The inner enamel epithelial cells differentiate into pre-ameloblasts.
- Stage 2: The outer periphery cells of the dental papilla differentiate into pre-odontoblasts.
- Stage 3: Pre-ameloblasts are triggered by dentine matrix to differentiate into ameloblasts.
- Stage 4: Pre-odontoblasts are triggered by pre-ameloblasts to differentiate into odontoblasts.
- Stage 5: Dentinogenesis starts at the cusp tips.
- Stage 6: Amelogenesis starts at the cusp tips.
- Stage 7: Stellate reticulum cells deflate.
- Stage 8: Stellate reticulum and stratum intermedium cells disappear.
- Stage 9: Enamel matrix is laid down.
- Stage 10: Pre-dentine is laid down.
- Stage 11: The dentine matrix is mineralized.
- Stage 12: The enamel matrix is mineralized.
Amelogenesis
- Amelogenesis is a process in two stages:
- Secretion: Ameloblasts deposit enamel protein matrix.
- Maturation: The enamel matrix mineralizes.
Ameloblasts
- Lifecycle: Ameloblast activity is limited to the time that crown formation is complete.
- Differentiation: Ameloblasts differentiate from the inner enamel epithelium.
Odontoblasts
- Lifecycle: The odontoblasts continue their activity throughout the life of the tooth, forming dentin throughout root development.
- Differentiation: Odontoblasts differentiate from the outer periphery cells of the dental papilla.
Pulp Formation
- Formation: The pulp develops during crown formation and continues through root formation.
Amelogenesis vs Dentinogenesis
| Features | Amelogenesis | Dentinogenesis |
|---|---|---|
| Cell | Ameloblast | Odontoblast |
| Location it begins | Cusp tips | Cusp tips |
| Pattern of formation | Appositional | Appositional |
| Direction in relation to dental papilla | Outward | Inward |
| When is it complete? | Crown formation | Root formation |
| Source of vascular supply | Dental follicle | Dental papila |
| Outcome of cell after crown formation complete | Degeneration | Maintain activity |
Embryology of Root and Supporting Structures
- Dental Sac: This structure surrounds the tooth germ and gives rise to the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone.
- Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS): HERS guides the formation of the root and determines its shape.
- Cementoblasts: These cells, derived from the dental sac, lay down cementum.
- Fibroblasts: Fibroblasts, also derived from the dental sac, produce collagen fibers that form the periodontal ligament.
Stages of Root Formation
- Stage 1: HERS plays a role in shaping the root by breaking down and fusing with the dental follicle.
- Stage 2: Dentinogenesis continues as the root forms.
- Stage 3: Cementogenesis occurs, with cementum being laid down by cementoblasts.
- Stage 4: The periodontal ligament is formed from collagen fibers produced by fibroblasts from the dental sac.
- Stage 5: Alveolar bone formation occurs.
Eruption and Exfoliation
- Eruption: The process by which a tooth moves from its position in the jawbone to its functional place in the mouth.
- Exfoliation: The shedding of a primary tooth. The process is initiated by the formation of a resorption space on the root of the primary tooth.
Stages of Eruption
- Pre-eruptive: The tooth is developing within the jawbone. This involves a period of growth and development of the tooth crown, followed by root formation.
- Intraosseous: The tooth moves through the alveolar bone, a slow and methodical process in which the tooth gradually migrates towards the oral cavity.
- Supraosseous: The final stage where the tooth erupts from the alveolar bone and into the oral cavity.
Reduced Enamel Epithelium (REE)
- REE is a protective layer that forms over the erupting tooth.
- The REE originates from the ameloblasts.
Dento-Gingival Junction
- This junction is the area where the tooth meets the gingiva.
- It forms the gingival sulcus and helps to protect the tooth root from bacteria.
