Study Notes
Tooth Development (Odontogenesis)
- Tooth development involves many complex biological processes: epithelial-mesenchymal interaction, morphogenesis, and calcification (mineralization).
Dentition
- Dentition is the process of teeth eruption, occurring in different stages of human life.
- There are three stages of dentition: primary dentition (20 teeth), permanent dentition (32 teeth), and mixed dentition period (between primary and permanent dentition).
Tooth Derivation
- Teeth are derived from three embryonic layers: ectoderm (enamel organ), mesoderm (dental papilla), and mesoderm (dental sac).
Tooth Development Phases
- Tooth development can be divided into three phases: initiation, morphogenesis, and histogenesis.
Initiation Phase
- During the initiation phase, the sites of future teeth are established with the appearance of tooth germs called dental lamina.
Morphogenesis Phase
- During the morphogenesis phase, the shape of the teeth is determined by a combination of cell proliferation and cell movement.
Histogenesis Phase
- During the histogenesis phase, cell differentiation proceeds to give rise to fully formed dental tissues, both mineralized (enamel, dentin, and cementum) and unmineralized (pulp and periodontal ligaments).
Tooth Development Stages
- The stages of tooth development are: initiation stage (6-7 weeks), bud stage (8 weeks), cap stage (9-10 weeks), bell stage (11-12 weeks), apposition stage (varies per tooth), and maturation stage (varies per tooth).
Bud Stage
- The bud stage is characterized by the incursion of epithelium into the mesenchyme, and the enamel organ appears as a simple, spherical to ovoid structure.
Cap Stage
- The cap stage is characterized by the continuation of the ingrowth of the oral epithelium into the mesenchyme, and the tooth bud of the dental lamina proliferates unequally to form a cap-shaped tissue.
Bell Stage
- During the bell stage, differentiation produces four types of cells within the enamel/dental organ: inner enamel epithelium, outer enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum, and stratum intermedium.
Dental Papilla
- The dental papilla undergoes differentiation and produces two types of cells: outer cells that form dentin-secreting cells (odontoblasts) and central cells that form the primordium of the pulp.
Dental Sac
- The dental sac shows a circular arrangement of its fibers and resembles a capsular structure before the formation of dental hard tissue begins.
Late Bell Stage (Apposition and Maturation Stage)
- The late bell stage represents the final stage of odontogenesis, characterized by apposition and maturation of dental tissues.
Fate of Dental Lamina
- The dental lamina is functional in developing 52 teeth from 6 prenatal weeks until 4 years after birth.
- The dental lamina degenerates by mesenchymal invasions in the late bell stage.
- Remnants of dental lamina may remain in the jaws as epithelial rests of Serres (Serres' pearls).
Nutrition and Tooth Development
- Nutrition has an effect on the developing tooth.
- Essential nutrients for a healthy tooth include calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins A, C, and D.
