Study Notes
Embryonic Origins of Oral Tissues
- Oral epithelial cells (ectoderm) and ectomesenchyme cells (neural crest cells) interact to form oral tissues.
- More than 300 genes guide the development process.
- Signals between cells and genes mediate development.
- Research uses animal and human embryos, fetuses, and infants to understand oral tissue development.
Stages of Tooth Development
-
Initiation:
- Dental lamina forms in week 6-7 from oral epithelial cells.
- Divided into dental lamina and vestibular lamina.
- Follows the outline of developing dental arches.
- Vestibular lamina forms in week 7 next to dental lamina.
- Creates the vestibule between teeth and lips.
- Basement membrane separates oral epithelial cells and ectomesenchyme, facilitating communication during development.
- Dental placodes form in week 8 from the dental lamina.
- These will form individual teeth.
- Dental placodes are surrounded by ectomesenchyme cells.
- Dental lamina forms in week 6-7 from oral epithelial cells.
-
Bud Stage:
- Occurs in week 9-10.
- Oral epithelial cells in the dental placode proliferate to form a bud.
- The bud presses into ectomesenchyme, forming the enamel organ.
- One enamel organ forms per tooth.
-
Cap Stage
- Occurs in week 11.
- Enamel organ changes shape, hollowing out at the bottom.
- Ectomesenchyme cells in the hollow proliferate rapidly to form the dental papilla.
- Ectomesenchyme cells surrounding the dental papilla and enamel organ proliferate to form the dental follicle.
-
Bell Stage:
- Continues morphogenesis from the bud and cap stages.
- Enamel knot guides cusp shape development.
- Enamel organ further hollows and extends to outline the tooth crown.
- Includes occlusal and cusp details.
- Enamel organ separates from the dental lamina.
- Divided into early and late bell stages.
- Histodifferentiation occurs in the bell stage.
- Cells within the enamel organ and dental papilla differentiate into different cell types.
- This prepares for the formation of different tooth tissues.
Cell Differentiation in the Early Bell Stage
-
Enamel Organ:
- Outer enamel epithelial cells
- Stratum intermedium
- Stellate reticulum
- Inner enamel epithelial cells
- Pre-ameloblasts
-
Dental Papilla:
- Pre-odontoblasts
- Inner enamel epithelial cells will become ameloblasts (form enamel).
- Pre-odontoblasts will become odontoblasts (form dentine).
