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
