Study Notes
Root Embryology
- Root development follows crown development, starting at the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and extending to the apical foramen.
- Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) originates from the cervical loop, defining the root shape.
- It's composed of inner and outer enamel epithelium, determining single or multi-rooted structures.
- HERS creates internal folds for multi-rooted teeth.
- Surrounding the root is the dental follicle.
- The dental papilla develops into the radicular pulp within root canals.
Dentin Formation (Root)
- HERS triggers dentinogenesis in the root, similar to the crown.
- Odontoblasts continue to form root dentin along the epithelial root sheath.
- Dentin formation extends to the apical foramen.
- The formation of radicular pulp starts from the dental papilla, situated within the root canals.
Supporting Structure Formation
- Supporting structures arise after root dentinogenesis commences.
- Pre-dentine interaction leads to HERS disintegration.
- Dental sac cells trigger cementoblast and fibroblast differentiation initiating cementum and periodontal ligament formation.
Cementum Formation (Cementogenesis)
- Cementoblasts originating from the dental sac form cementum, a root-covering substance.
- Cementum matrix is laid down, partially mineralized, and continuously forms throughout life, like dentin and bone.
- Cementum connects the tooth to the alveolar socket.
- Collagen fibres from cementum connect to root dentin forming the cemento-dentin junction (CDJ).
- Collagen fibres from the periodontal ligament connect to cementum, creating attachment to the alveolar bone.
- Some cementoblasts become embedded within the cementum forming cementocytes.
Periodontal Ligament Formation
- Dental sac cells differentiate into fibroblasts forming the periodontal ligament alongside cementogenesis.
- Periodontal ligament collagen fibers attach to cementum and alveolar bone.
- Periodontal ligament formation begins at the cervical loop and continues along the full root length.
Alveolar Bone Formation
- Surrounding the dental sac, ectomesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts and osteoclasts, forming alveolar bone.
- Osteoblasts establish alveolar bone, similar to other bone formations.
