Study Notes
Tooth Development and Eruption: Part 1
- Tooth development, or odontogenesis, occurs in stages, stepwise, for both primary and permanent dentitions.
- Odontogenesis of the primary dentition begins between the sixth and seventh week of prenatal development.
- The initiation stage involves induction, an interaction between embryonic tissues.
- The initiation stage begins with ectoderm lining, the stomodeum.
- The bud stage is characterized by proliferation of the dental lamina into buds or oval masses that penetrate the ectomesenchyme.
- The cap stage involves proliferation, differentiation, and morphogenesis. Ectoderm forms enamel organ surrounding dental papilla.
- The bell stage is characterized by continuing proliferation, differentiation, and morphogenesis. Four different cell types are present.
- The OEE is a protective barrier to the rest of the enamel organ.
- The innermost tall columnar cells are IEE.
- The bell stage results in a bell-shaped enamel organ.
- In the cap stage, the underlying ectomesenchyme also undergoes proliferation. A basement membrane remains between the bud and the growing ectomesenchyme.
- Each dental bud from the dental lamina develops a tooth germ and supporting tissues.
- The cap shape of the enamel organ develops during this stage.
- A depression in the tooth bud forms the enamel organ.
- The future crown form of the tooth is signaled at this stage.
- The enamel organ produces enamel for the outer surface of the tooth.
- The initiation stage, the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage relate to the development of the tooth.
Developmental Disturbances During Initiation Stage
- Lack of initiation within dental lamina results in anodontia.
- Partial anodontia (hypodontia) is more common and may occur with third molars, maxillary lateral incisors, and mandibular second premolars.
- Anodontia can be associated with ectodermal dysplasia.
- Ectodermal dysplasia can affect skin, hair, nails, teeth, or sweat glands, leading to partial or complete anodontia.
- Abnormal initiation can result in supernumerary teeth. These extra teeth have a hereditary etiology.
- Common locations for supernumerary teeth include between maxillary central incisors (mesiodens), distal to the maxillary third molars (distomolar), and in the premolar region of both arches.
Tooth Development and Eruption: Part 2
- The process of root development takes place after the crown is completely shaped and the tooth is starting to erupt into the oral cavity.
- The structure responsible for root development is the cervical loop, which is the most cervical part of the enamel organ.
- The cervical loop grows deeper into the ectomesenchyme and forms the Hertwig epithelial root sheath (HERS), which shapes the roots and creates dentin.
- The dental sac, of the ectomesenchyme, produces the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone that support the tooth.
- Cementoblasts move to cover the root dentin area and undergo cementogenesis to lay down cementum matrix, or cementoid.
- Cementum calcification (maturation) forms mature cementocytes.
- The central cells of the dental papilla form pulp tissue.
- Excessive cementum formation can occur with concrescence. Concrescence is the union of root structures.
Stages of Tooth Development
- Initiation stage (weeks 6-7): Enamel organ forms.
- Bud stage (week 8): Dental lamina forms into buds that penetrate ectomesenchyme
- Cap stage (weeks 9-10): Enamel organ forms a cap shape.
- Bell stage (weeks 11-12): Enamel organ forms a bell shape. All four cell types are found.
Problems in Spacing
- A permanent tooth often erupts before the primary tooth is fully shed, creating spacing issues.
- Interceptive orthodontic therapy can prevent some of these situations.
- Prolonged retention of primary teeth requires early dental consultation.
