Study Notes
Oral Tissue Development
- Oral epithelial cells in the mandibular and maxillary prominences form the primary epithelial band.
- The primary epithelial band divides into the dental lamina and the vestibular lamina during week 7.
- The dental lamina outlines the developing dental arches.
- The vestibular lamina forms adjacent to the dental lamina and will give rise to the vestibule of the oral cavity.
- The basement membrane separates the oral epithelial cells and the ectomesenchyme, facilitating communication during tooth development.
- In week 8, the dental lamina forms epithelial swellings called dental placodes, which will become individual teeth.
- The dental placode is surrounded by ectomesenchyme cells.
- Interactions between the oral epithelial cells of the dental placode and the ectomesenchyme cells via the basement membrane initiate the next stage of tooth development.
The Bud Stage
- Oral epithelial cells in the dental placode proliferate to form a bud that presses into the underlying ectomesenchyme.
- This creates the enamel organ, with differentiated cells:
- Outer enamel epithelium (OEE)
- Stellate reticulum (SR)
- Stratum intermedium (SI)
- Inner enamel epithelium (IEE)
Early Bell Stage: Dental Papilla
- Ectomesenchyme cells in the dental papilla differentiate into:
- Odontoblasts - responsible for dentinogenesis
- Pulpal cells - will eventually become the pulp of the tooth.
Late Bell Stage
- The enamel organ is ready for crown formation, including amelogenesis and dentinogenesis.
- Amelogenesis is the formation of enamel by ameloblasts.
- Dentinogenesis is the formation of dentine by odontoblasts.
Development of the Oral Mucosa
- Oral epithelial cells in the vestibular lamina (VL) and lingual regions (LR) proliferate, migrate, and differentiate according to future function.
- Examples of oral mucosa types:
- Masticatory mucosa
- Lining mucosa
- Specialized mucosa
- Ectomesenchyme cells give rise to the lamina propria and submucosa.
Timeline of Eruption
- The eruption of teeth is a complex process linked to the developmental stages.
Developmental Anomalies
- Anomalies can occur at any stage of tooth development, caused by environmental or genetic factors.
- Examples of anomalies:
- Supernumerary teeth (extra teeth)
- Missing teeth
- Altered crown shape
- Enamel quality variations
- The impact of anomalies can vary, potentially requiring additional care.
Clinical Significance of Oral Embryology
- Understanding how oral tissues develop is crucial for supporting, maintaining, and restoring oral health.
- Knowledge of embryology helps identify healthy and abnormal structures, diagnose oral diseases, and prevent future issues.
- It facilitates the development of effective preventative advice, materials, and medicaments for managing diseases and promoting healing.
