Faculty of Dentistry كلية طب األسنان Title: - Enamel Presented By: Atef I. Ahmed Professor of Oral Biology Faculty of Dentistry كلية طب األسنان By the end of this lecture, the student would be able to: 1- Discuss the structural features of enamel. 2- Examine the histological slides that showcase histological structure of enamel. 3- Explain the life cycle of ameloblasts 4- Identify the stages of amelogenesis Enamel 1-ECTODERMAL TISSUE COVERING THE ANATOMICAL CROWN. 2-HIGHLY MINERALIZED, RISIST MASTICATORY FORCES. 3-ACELLULAR, NONVITAL AND INSENSITIVE. 4-CANNOT REPALCED OR REGENERATED. 1-COLOUR 2-THICKNESS PHYSICAL PROPERTIES 5-PERMEABILITY 3-HARDNESS 4-BRITTLNESS 6- Density 1 - COLOUR YELLOWIH WHITE TO GRAYISH WHITE 2 - THICKNESS - 2 – 2.5 mm. at the cusps of the molars and premolars. - Thinning down to Almost knife edge at the cervical margin of the tooth (100 µm) 3 – HARDNESS IT IS THE HARDEST + + CALCIFIED TISSUE IN THE + BODY DUE TO: + - 1- HIGH CONTENT OF THE - MINERAL SALTS 2- ITS CRYSTALLINE - ARRANGEMENT. 4 - BRITTLNESS ITS STRUCTURE AND HARDNESS RENDER IT BRITTLE, SPECIALY WHEN IT LOOSES ITS ELASTIC FOUNDATION OF HEALTHY DENTIN ASG 5- PERMEABILITY -ENAMEL HAS A CERTAIN DEGREE OF PERMEABILTY DEMONSTRATED BY DYES AND RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES. - IT ACTS AS A SEMIPERMEABLE MEMBRANE FOR CERTAIN IONS AND DYESTUFFS OF SMALL MOLECULAR SIZE THROUGH PORES BETWEEN THE CRYSTALS. ASG CHEMICAL PROPERTIES INORGANIC ORGANIC BY 96% 4% WEIGHT BY EQUAL EQUAL VOLUME ASG INORGANIC MATERIAL 92-96 % CRYSTALLINE CALISIUM PHOSPHATE ( HYDROXY APATITE) 3 Ca3 (PO4)2.

ASG HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURE 1-ENAMEL rod ENAMEL PRISM 2-rod SHEATH ENAMEL ENAMEL PRISM 3-INTER rod SUBSTANCE DENTIN ASG HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURE HIXAGONAL OVAL ROUND FISH SCALES KEY HOLE ASG Rods….L/M ….hexagonal, fish scales, round, oval. E/M….T.S…key hole or paddle shaped…… L.S…..tails & bodies. Crystals ……parallel to long axis in bodies and tails…deviate 65 far out from tails.

THE DENTIN0-ENAMEL JUNCTION scalloped interface between the enamel and dentin. Small curved convexities of enamel fit into small concavities of the dentin. ASG ENAMEL LAMELLAE - Thin, leaf like structures extend from the enamel surface towards the DEJ. ENAMEL LAMELLAE a failure of the process of removal of the organic matrix and water a site of weakness, which may form the pathway for bacterial invasion. Types - Type A: restricted to enamel. - Type B. - Type C: Type B and C may reach the dentin. ENAMEL TUFT -Enamel tufts are organic structures - originate at the DEJ and extend into for about ⅓ of its thickness. -It resemble tufts of grass - due to abrupt changes in the rod direction, ENAMEL SPINDLES - Are odontoblastic processes - derived from dentin and have an organic content higher than surrounding enamel. - are randomly distributed along the DEJ. 1 – OUTER STRUCTURELESS ENAMEL REMTHERE IS AN INNER STRUCTURELESS ENAMEL 30 um thick rodless without tom’s processes. ASG The crystals are oriented at right angles to the striae of Retzius. 2 - PERIKYMATA PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER AND TO C.E.J. External manifestation of the striae of retzius. CONTINUOUS AROUND THE TOOTH. More in facial aspect 30/ mm – AT THE REGION OF C.E.J. 10/ mm – NEAR TO THE OCCLUSAL OR INCISAL EDGES. Not present in occlusal deciduous teeth ASG 3 - ROD ENDS Concave SHALLOWER CERVICALLY DEEPER OCCLUSALLY contribute to the adherence of plaque ASG 4 - CRACKS Narrow, fissure like structures. Represent outer manifestations of enamel lamellae. They originate from DEJ and, and may rich the occlusal or incisal surface. PRIMARY ENAMEL CUTICLE (Nasmyth’s membrane) -0.5 to 1.5 µm thick. - in newly erupted teeth and is lost due to mastication - Its structure is similar to the basal lamina of the epithelium. - It is the last product of the ameloblasts. ASG. Enamel cuticle is made of two cuticles, Primary is the last product of the ameloblasts and it becomes mineralized. secondary covers the primary cuticle and is a product of the reduced enamel epithelium and is not mineralized. Functional and structural features of ameloblasts: - Differentiation: The ameloblasts are derived from the IDE during bell stage. - Ameloblasts fully differentiate at cusp tips spreads towards the cervical loop. - Once the inner dental epithelium has fully differentiated there is no more proliferation as they highly differentiated cells do not divide. Induction and competence: Reciprocal induction - Factors involved in tooth development 1- genetic factors (homeobox genes) 2- growth factors(TGF,FGF,….) 3-signaling molecules(BMP) Life Cycles of the Ameloblasts According to their function, can be divided into 7 stages: 1. Morphogenic stage. 2. Differentiating or Organizing stage. 3. Secretory or Formative stage. 4. Transitional stage 5. Maturative stage. 6. Protective stage. 7. Desmolytic stage. ASG AMELOGENESIS 1 - ENAMEL 2 - MATURATION secretion OF ENAMEL THE BEGINNING OF MINERALIZATION OF THE ENAMEL MATRIX DOES NOT AWAIT THE COMPLETION OF ITS FORMATION. ASG Thank YOU
