Study Notes
Tooth Structure
- Enamel is the outer layer of the crown
- Dentine is the bulk of the crown and root
- Cementum is the outer layer of the root
- Periodontal ligament connects the root of the tooth to the alveolar bone
- Pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth
- Alveolar bone holds the teeth in place
- Oral mucosa is the soft tissue lining the oral cavity
Embryonic Origins and Links to Oral Structures
- Oral epithelial cells are derived from ectoderm
- Ectomesenchymal cells are derived from neural crest cells
- Ameloblasts form enamel
- Odontoblasts form dentine
- Oral mucosa forms from ectoderm
- Pulp, cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone form from ectomesenchyme
Stages of Tooth Development
- The dental lamina forms during week 6-7 of development
- The vestibular lamina forms during week 7 of development
- Dental placodes form from the dental lamina during week 8 of development
- Crown formation involves amelogenesis (enamel formation) and dentinogenesis (dentine formation)
Development of Oral Mucosa
- Oral epithelial cells differentiate into different types of mucosa
- The underlying ectomesenchyme forms the lamina propria and submucosa
Timeline of Primary Dentition Development
- Late bell stage is the final stage of development of the crown
- Bell stage complete occurs when the crown is fully formed
- Eruption is the process of the tooth breaking through the gum
Developmental Anomalies
- Developmental anomalies can result from disruptions in tooth development
