Study Notes
Tooth Development
- Tooth formation begins from ectoderm and ectomesenchyme at 37 days of development, with a continuous band of thickened epithelium forming around the mouth in the presumptive upper and lower jaws.
- Each band of epithelium, called the primary epithelial band, gives rise to two subdivisions: dental lamina and vestibular lamina.
- Initiation of tooth development starts with formation of localized thickenings or placodes within the primary epithelial bands.
- Ten epithelial thickenings in dental lamina form enamel organs, which later develop into deciduous teeth.
Stages of Tooth Development
- Bud stage: characterized by formation of a tooth bud, proliferation of epithelial cells into the ectomesenchyme, and differentiation of odontoblasts to form organic matrix of dentin.
- Cap stage: not mentioned explicitly in the text, but implied as a transitional stage between bud and bell stages.
- Bell stage:
- Odontoblasts differentiate and form organic matrix of dentin along the dentinoenamel junction.
- Inner enamel epithelial cells elongate and exhibit reversal of polarity, turning into functional ameloblasts.
- Ameloblasts produce an organic matrix of enamel against the newly formed dentin.
Reciprocal Induction
- Terminal differentiation of ameloblasts and odontoblasts, leading to formation of enamel and dentin.
- Differentiation of odontoblasts influenced by inner enamel epithelial cells.
- Reciprocal induction: differentiation of ameloblasts and odontoblasts is interdependent.
Root Formation
- Begins when dentinoenamel line reaches the future cementoenamel junction.
- Hertwig's epithelial root sheath formation occurs from the cervical portion of the enamel organ, determining the shape, length, size, and number of roots.
- Dental papilla in bell stage: undifferentiated ectomesenchymal cells increase in size, occupy the acellular zone, and differentiate into odontoblasts.
Crown Pattern Determination
- Bell stage: dental lamina breaks up, and crown pattern of the tooth is determined (morphodifferentiation).
- Dental follicle: collagen fibrils occupy extracellular spaces, orienting themselves circularly around the enamel organ and dental papillae, later differentiating into periodontal fibers.
Advanced Bell Stage
- Characterized by the beginning of mineralization and root formation.
- Peripheral ectomesenchymal cells of the dental papilla differentiate into odontoblasts under the influence of inner enamel epithelial cells.
- Mineralization occurs, and the dentinoenamel junction is outlined.
