Study Notes
Tooth Development and Growth
- The primitive oral cavity, or stomodeum, is lined with stratified squamous epithelium (ectoderm).
- Connective tissue underneath the oral ectoderm is made up of neural crest cells (ectomesenchyme).
- Tooth development starts in the anterior portion of the maxilla and mandible and progresses posteriorly.
- Epithelial cells proliferate rapidly in specific areas (dental lamina) of the oral ectoderm.
- Ectomesenchymal cells also proliferate, forming a horseshoe-shaped dental arch.
- This proliferation of cells leads to the formation of the dental lamina.
- The dental lamina is the primordium for the ectodermal portion of deciduous teeth during jaw development.
- Permanent molars develop directly from the distal extension of the dental lamina.
- Deciduous teeth successors form from a lingual extension of the free end of the dental lamina.
- As teeth develop, they lose their connection to the dental lamina, breaking up through mesenchymal invasion.
- Remnants of the dental lamina remain (epithelial pearls or islands) in the jaw and gingival regions.
Stages of Tooth Development
- Bud Stage: Ectomesenchymal cells proliferate, forming a rounded swelling (the bud) corresponding to the future position of deciduous teeth.
- Cap Stage: Epithelium proliferates around the growing ball of ectomesenchymal cells. Ectomesenchymal cells become encapsulated.
- Bell Stage: Enamel organ shape resembles a bell. The epithelial cells are essential for regulating epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, controlling enamel organ morphogenesis and histodifferentiation.
- Four layers: Inner enamel epithelium, Outer enamel epithelium, Stellate reticulum, and Stratum intermedium develop.
- Root Formation (Hertwig's Root Sheath): After enamel and dentin formation, the root forms (Hertwig's root sheath). This sheath molds the root shape and begins dentin formation.
- Hertwig's epithelial root sheath(HERS) cells differentiate into cementoblasts.
- If the continuity of Hertwig's root sheath is broken, a defect in the root dentin wall may result.
