Study Notes
Oral Epithelial Cell Differentiation
- Oral epithelial cells in the enamel organ differentiate into four distinct cell types during tooth development.
- Outer enamel epithelium (OEE): Cuboidal cells along the periphery, crucial for eruption.
- Stellate reticulum (SR): Star-shaped cells inside the OEE, essential for amelogenesis.
- Stratum intermedium (SI): Flattened cell layer inside the inner enamel epithelium, also plays a critical role in amelogenesis.
- Inner enamel epithelium (IEE): Tall columnar cells inside, destined to become ameloblasts.
Dental Papilla
- Ectomesenchyme cells within the dental papilla differentiate into two cell types.
- Odontoblasts (O): Originate from pre-odontoblasts, located on the periphery of the dental papilla, responsible for dentinogenesis.
- Pulpal cells (P): Found in the center of the dental papilla, eventually forming the pulp of the tooth.
Late Bell Stage
- After cellular differentiation, the enamel organ is poised for crown formation (odontogenesis).
- Amelogenesis and dentinogenesis begin.
Morphogenesis: The Bud and Cap Stages
- The oral epithelial cells of the dental placode proliferate, forming a bud that presses into the underlying ectomesenchyme, creating the enamel organ.
- The enamel organ is responsible for generating a single tooth.
- The enamel organ transforms into a cap shape, with ectomesenchymal cells proliferating to form the dental papilla (DP) in the hollow.
- The dental follicle (DF) encompasses the enamel organ and dental papilla.
- Morphogenesis, the development of morphological characteristics, begins, shaping the tooth crown.
- The enamel knot acts as a signaling center for morphogenesis, defining cusp shape and outline.
The Bell Stage
- The enamel organ further hollows out, extending to encompass the full size and shape of the tooth crown.
- The enamel organ detaches from the dental lamina.
- The bell stage is divided into:
- Early Bell Stage: Cell differentiation takes place within the enamel organ and dental papilla.
- Late Bell Stage: Transition to crown formation.
Early Bell Stage: Cells Within the Enamel Organ and Dental Papilla
- Cells within the enamel organ, from outside to inside:
- Outer enamel epithelial cells
- Stratum intermedium
- Stellate reticulum
- Inner enamel epithelial cells, which differentiate into ameloblasts
- Cells within the dental papilla:
- Pre-odontoblasts (which differentiate into odontoblasts)
- Pulpal cells
- Ameloblasts form enamel.
- Odontoblasts form dentin.
