    Study Notes

    Oral Tissue Development

    • Initiation: Begins in week 6-7 with the formation of the primary epithelial band in the mandibular and maxillary prominences
    • Dental lamina: Forms by week 7
      • Extends to follow the outline of the developing dental arches, forming the basis for the future teeth
    • Vestibular lamina: Forms adjacent to the dental lamina, will become the vestibule which is the space between the teeth and lips
    • Dental placodes: Form from the dental lamina in week 8, these are the epithelial swellings that will become individual teeth
    • Basement membrane: Separates the oral epithelial cells and ectomesenchyme cells, acts as a communication barrier in the development of teeth

    Tooth Development Stages

    • Bud Stage: Characterized by the formation of a round, knob-like structure from the dental placode
      • Interaction between the oral epithelial cells of the dental placode and the underlying ectomesenchyme cells via the basement membrane triggers this stage
    • Cap Stage: The bud stage develops a cap shape, the enamel organ begins forming
      • The enamel organ is a specialized structure responsible for enamel formation
    • Bell Stage: The cap further develops into a bell shape
      • Inside the bell, the enamel organ separates from the dental lamina.
      • The outline of the crown becomes visible.
      • There are two parts to the Bell stage:
        • Early Bell Stage: Cellular differentiation occurs in the enamel organ and dental papilla, setting the stage for tooth formation
        • Late Bell Stage: Histo-differentiation continues with further development and differentiation of cells
          • This stage involves :
            • Amelogenesis: The formation of enamel by ameloblasts
            • Dentinogenesis: The formation of dentin by odontoblasts

    Cellular Differentiation

    • Enamel Organ: The primary structure responsible for enamel formation
      • Contains the following layers:
        • Outer Enamel Epithelium (OEE): Cuboidal cells playing a key role in tooth eruption
        • Stellate Reticulum (SR): Star-shaped cells, facilitate amelogenesis
        • Stratum Intermedium (SI): Flattened layer of cells, facilitate amelogenesis
        • Inner Enamel Epithelium (IEE): Tall columnar cells that differentiate into ameloblasts, the cells responsible for enamel production
    • Dental Papilla: Ectomesenchymal tissue that will become the pulp
      • Contains the following cells:
        • Odontoblasts: Cells along the periphery of the dental papilla that produce dentin
        • Pulpal Cells: Located within the center of the dental papilla, will eventually become the pulp of the tooth

    Oral Mucosa Development

    • Oral Mucosa: Lining of the oral cavity
    • Oral epithelial cells: Located in the vestibular lamina and lingual regions, undergo proliferation, migration, and differentiation to form different types of mucosa.
      • Different types of mucosa:
        • Masticatory mucosa: Found in areas subject to chewing
        • Lining mucosa: Lines the inside of the cheeks, lips, and floor of the mouth
        • Specialized mucosa: Found in areas with specific functions, such as the gingiva
    • Ectomesenchymal cells: Underlying the epithelial cells, will form the lamina propria (connective tissue) and submucosa.

    Clinical Significance

    • Developmental anomalies can occur due to genetic or environmental factors during any stage of tooth development
      • These anomalies can impact the shape, size, and function of the teeth
    • Understanding the development of oral tissues is essential for
      • Identifying healthy vs. abnormal tissues
      • Diagnosing and preventing oral diseases
      • Maintaining oral health through preventive care, management of diseases and healing

    Timeline

    • Primary Dentition Development: Begins with the Late Bell Stage of the primary teeth.
      • The Bell stage for permanent teeth forms while the baby teeth are still in the Bell stage.
      • Eruption of primary teeth occurs later in the process.
