Q

What are the two laminas in development and what do they contribute towards?

A

Dental lamina - contributes to the development of the teeth
Vestibular lamina - contributes to the vestibule of the mouth, delineating the lips and cheek from the teeth formation of sulcus

Q

What happens at week 6 in relation to tooth development?

A

We have a condensation of ectomesenchyme
The pimary epithelial band is being formed and starting to push inwards towards this condensation of mesenchyme

Q

What happens in week 7?

A

We have differentiation between dental lamina (interacting with the mesenchyme) and the vestibular lamina (pushing mesenchyme down and proliferating a lot)

Q

What happens in week 8?

A

The bud stage starts
The bud of the dental lamina (the enamel organ)
The enamel organs are swellings formed by dental lamina under the influence of mesenchymal cells. From these enamel, organs develop each tooth.

17
Q

What happens in week 9?

A

Signals have told the cells in the vestibular lamina to die off (still a bit of a mystery)

18
Q

What happens in week 12 in relation to the vestibular lamina?

A

The vestibular lamina cells have died off resulting in a gap (the buccal/labial sulcus/vestibule)

19
Q

Interactions between the epithelium (ectoderm) gives rise to what?

A
  • enamel
  • hyaline layer of the root
20
Q

Interactions between the mesenchyme (ectomesenchyme) gives rise to what?

A
  • dentine
  • pulp
  • cementum
  • periodontium - PDL and bone
21
Q

What tissue is thought to initially initiate tooth development?

A
  • Epithelium initially has the odontogenic potential, then the ectomesenchyme
22
Q

What are the components of the tooth germ?

A
  • enamel organ
  • dental papilla
  • dental follicle
23
Q

What happens in week 11 in relation to tooth development?

A

The dental lamina is continuing to lengthen downwards (still attached to the oral epithelium)
The enamel organ is changing shape to resemble something that looks like a cap (cap stage)
- Poorly histodifferenciated
-

24
Q

What happens around week 14 in relation to tooth development?

A
  • Early bell stage
    Lots of morpho- and histo-differentiation
    The enamel organ is differenciated into 4 layers
  • inner enamel epithelium
  • stratum intermedium
  • stellate reticulum
  • outer enamel epithelium
    The condensed ectomesenchyme cells give rise to the dental papilla (which forms odontoblasts (dentine) and will go on to form the pulp) and the dental follicle (which forms the cementum, PDL and bone
25
Q

What is the role of the inner enamel epithelium layer of the enamel organ?

A

forms ameloblasts which are responsible for laying down enamel

26
Q

What shape are inner enamel epithelial cells?

A

Columnal cells at cusp tips

27
Q

What is the role of the stratum intermedium layer?

A

To synthesise and transport to and form the inner enamel epithelium

28
Q

What shape are stratum intermedium cells?

A

flattened cells
