33
What are the ectoderm and mesoderm separated by?
Basement membrane
34
Dental lamina—> initiation period: - occurs at which week? - what happens during?
- 6th week - thickening of the epithelium that invaginates into the mesoderm by proliferation of the cells of the basal layer - the dental lamina forms—> tooth germ
35
Bud stage—>initiation period: - occurs at which week? - what happens during?
- 7th-9th week - cells multiply enter in the underlying connective tissue - 10 buds develop in each arch
36
The buds of the permanent teeth, are formed from the? While the permanent molars are ?
the temporary buds Permanent molars are independent buds.
37
Fewer buds mean?
Agenesis
38
Extra buds mean?
Supernumerary
39
- 9th-11th week - Epithelial cells proliferate resulting in the formation of tooth germ. - mesoderm produces the dental papilla which gives rise to the dentin and dental pulp. - The ectodermal covering the papilla is called the enamel organ since it will produce the future enamel of the tooth. - the mesenchyme condenses as the dental sac, which later forms the cement, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. - In this period we distinguish the 3 formative elements of the tooth
40
The 3 formative elements of the tooth are?
Enamel organ or dental organ: enamel. Dental papilla: dentin and dental pulp. Dental sac: cement, PDL, and alveolar bone.
41
4 layers of the enamel organ are?
- IEE - OEE - Stellate reticulum - intermediate reticulum
42
Shape of OEE? And location?
Cuboidal In contact with dental sac
43
Which cells are capable of developing into ameloblasts (that produce enamel)?
IEE
44
Location of IEE?
In contact with dental papilla
45
Shape of stellate reticulum? Location?
Polymorphic, between IEE and OEE
46
Shape of intermediate reticulum? Function?
Squamous Help ameloblasts produce enamel
47
Excess initiation and proliferation of thickening, bud, and cap stage causes?
Cysts, odontomas, supernumeraries
48
Defect in initiation and proliferation of thickening, bud, and cap stage causes?
Agenesis, oligodontia/anodontia
49
Early bell stage—> histodifferentaion period: - occurs at which week? - what happens during?
- 14th week - Tooth germ cells begin to specialise. - The tissue inside this bell is the dental papilla. - The Internal dental epithelium will form the enamel. - The condensation of the mesodermal tissue will have created the dental sac that will give rise to the cement and the periodontal ligament. - The enamel organ is still attached to the oral epithelium by the enamel cord (joins the tooth germ to the maxillary epithelium). - An extension begins to form —> dental lamina of the permanent tooth
50
Function of the OEE?
Protection
51
Function of the IEE?
Enamel formation
52
Function of the intermediate reticulum?
Nutrition of the IEE
53
Function of the stellate reticulum?
Protection and nutrition
54
Where is the dental lamina of the permanent tooth located ?
lingually and distally to the primary tooth
55
What’sthe cause of enamel or dentin structure anomalies?
The disorders of endogenous or exogenous origin that alter the differentiation of the cells that form the dental germ
56
Late bell stage—> morphodifferentiation period: - occurs at which week? - what happens during?
18th week - The dental germ is independent of the oral epithelium. (Because the enamel cord disintegrated). - The four layers of the enamel organ are fully differentiated and at the site of the neck of the future tooth, internal and external epithelium form a vertical handle from which it derives the tooth root. - The ectomesenchymal cells of the dental papilla closest to the IEE are differentiated into odontoblasts, that are in charge of the dentin development. - Cells from the IEE closest to the stellate reticulum (preameloblasts) differentiate into ameloblasts to form enamel - Simultaneously with this process the central part of the dental papilla will become the pulp.
57
Enamel forms first in? Then in?
first in the future incisal edges and later in the future cervical edge
58
This double cell layer composed by ameloblasts and odontoblasts is named
amelo-dentine or bilaminar membrane
59
The anomalies suffered by the dental germ during its morphological differentiation, will result in teeth of
abnormal shape and/or size
60
Any systemic or local disturbance that damages the ameloblasts during the enamel formation phase can cause an
interruption of the apposition of the matrix, resulting in a hypoplasia of the enamel
61
Crown stage—> calcification period:
- The calcification starts in the areas that will later correspond to the cusp tip and the incisal edge, followed by concentric layers in different areas.
62
When is the crown morphology established before or after the apposition and mineralisation?
before the apposition and mineralization of the dental tissues begin.
63
Calcification is?
precipitation of mineral salts mainly calcium and phosphorus on the previously developed tissue matrix. It consists of layered appositional growth
64
The enamel of what region will be the last to be formed?
cervical region
65
Temporary teeth: intrauterine: • CI: ? week. • LI: ? week. • 1st molar: ? week. • C: ? week. • 2nd molar: ? week. • Apical closure takes place between the ? year after the eruption.
• CI: 14 week. • LI: 16 week. • 1st molar: 15.5 week. • C: 17 week. • 2nd molar: 18 week. • Apical closure takes place between the 1-1.5 year after the eruption.
66

- Permanent teeth: postnatal: • 1st molar: at birth time • Central incisor, lower lateral incisor: first months of life • Upper lateral incisor: 1 year old. • 1st premolars: 2 years old. • 2nd premolar: 2.5 years old, the lowers sometimes up to 4-5 years old. • The apical closure of permanent teeth occur about 3 and a half years after it’s eruption.
67
Arrange the nolla stages: A. Crown almost completed B. 2/3 root completed (the tooth breaks the alveolar process and appears in the mouth) C. Crypt present D. Root almost completed E. 1/3 crown completed F. Crypt absent G. 1/3 root completed H. 2/3 crown completed I. Initial calcification J. Crown completed (eruptive period begins) K. Root apex completed
A. 5 B. 8 C. 1 D. 9 E. 3 F. 0 G. 7 H. 4 I. 2 J. 6 K. 10
68
When does root formation begin?
After enamel and dentin are well developed
69
The inner and outer enamel epithelium come together in the ? region and form an epithelial fold, the epithelial root sheath or Hertwig epithelial root sheath (HERS), which grows into the mesenchyme and begins the formation of the root.
Neck region
70
What happens to the pulp cavity as the dentin increases?
Gets smaller and becomes a narrow canal for the vessels and nerves to enter to the root
71
Union between IEE and OEE is?
Hertwigs epithelial root sheath
72
