Study Notes
Tooth Development
- The process of tooth development from a few cells in the primitive oral cavity to an erupted tooth with crown and root is called morphodifferentiation.
- The unique epithelial tissue that covers the crown of the tooth is called enamel organ.
Enamel Formation
- Enamel formation is also known as amelogenesis.
- The two main types of cells involved in enamel formation are ameloblasts and ectomesenchyme cells.
- Ameloblasts develop from the inner dental epithelium and require communication with ectomesenchyme cells to differentiate.
- The principal stages of enamel development are:
- Secretion stage: ameloblasts secrete a unique extracellular matrix containing enamel proteins.
- Maturation stage: ameloblasts secrete a basal lamina on the enamel surface and attach to it.
- Disturbances in enamel formation can be caused by genetic or environmental factors.
- The composition of enamel during the secretion stage is a unique extracellular matrix containing enamel proteins.
- The composition of enamel during the maturation stage is a highly mineralized, hard tissue.
- Hydroxyapatite, the mineral found in enamel, has the formula Ca₅(PO₄)₃(OH).
Ameloblasts
- Ameloblasts are responsible for the formation of enamel rods during enamel development.
- The function of ameloblasts during the secretory stage is to secrete a unique extracellular matrix containing enamel proteins.
- The function of ameloblasts during the maturation stage is to secrete a basal lamina on the enamel surface and attach to it.
- The term given to the end of the ameloblast cell which lays down the crystals of the enamel matrix is Tomes' process.
Other
- The hardest tissue in the body is enamel.
- The role of enamel tufts is to anchor the enamel to the underlying dentin.
- The role of enamel spindles is to provide a pathway for ions to move through the enamel.
- The reduced dental epithelium plays a role in the formation of the enamel organ during tooth development.
