Dental Development, Morphology, Eruption and Related Pathologies Flashcards
Handbook (143 cards)
Embryology: Neural crest cells
- Develop from ectoderm along lateral margins of neural plate
- Undergo extensive migration
- Responsible for many skeletal and connect tissues:
- Bone
- Cartilage
- Dentin
- Dermis
- NOT enamel
Embryology: Dental lamina
- Begins development @ 6 weeks of embryonic age.
- Dental lamina differentiates from expansion of basal layer of oral cavity epithelium.
- Tooth buds arise from dental lamina.
Name the components of tooth buds
- Enamel organ
- Dental papilla
- Dental sac
Name the morphologic stages of dental development
- Dental lamina
- Bud stage
- Cap stage
- Early bell stage
- Advanced bell stage
- Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath
- Formation of enamel and dentin matrices
Dental lamina
- Inductive phenomenon
- Initial formation of dental development
- Characterized by initiation
Bud stage
- Initial swellings from dental lamina.
- Formation of tooth buds.
- Characterized by proliferation and morphodifferentiation.
Cap Stage
- Expansion of tooth buds
- Formation of tooth germ
- Proliferation of tooth germ with cap-like appearance
- Inner (concavity) and outer (convexity) enamel epithelium
- Stellate reticulum (center of epithelial enamel organ): supports and protects ameloblasts
- Dental papilla (neural crest origin): Formative organ of dentin and primordium of pulp
- Dental sac: Gives rise to cementum and PDL
- Characterized by proliferation, histodifferentiation, and morphodifferentiation.
Early Bell Stage
- Invagination of epithelium deepens, margins continue to grow
- Stratum intermedium: Essential for enamel production
- Primordia of permanent teeth bud off primary dental lamina
- Basic form an relative size established by differential growth
- Characterized by proliferation, histodifferentiation, and morphodifferentiation
Advanced Bell Stage
- Differentiation of odontoblasts precedes that of ameloblasts
- Future DEJ outlined
- Basal margin of enamel organ gives rise to Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath
Hertwig’s Epithelial Root Sheath
- Composed of inner and outer enamel epithelia without stratum intermedium and stellate reticulum
- Root sheath loses continuity once first layer of dentin laid down
- Remnant persists as rests of Malassez
Formation of enamel and dentin matrices
- Characterized by apposition
- Regular and rhythmic deposition of matrix of hard dental structures
- Takes place in waves from DEJ outward, from incisal to cervical
- Takes place in two stages
- Both processes occur simultaneously
- Immediate partial mineralization as matrix segments are formed
- Maturation
- Gradual completion
- The term “maturation” is also used to describe post-eruption mineralization

Hyperdontia: Prevalence, Frequency, Location, Genetics, Classification of supernumerary teeth
initiation and Proliferation
- Prevalence:
- Primary dentition: 0.3-0.8%
- Permanent dentition: 0.1-3.8% in whites; higher in blacks and Asians
- Frequency:
- Males 2:1 females
- Permanent dentition 5x as common as primary dentition
- Location
- 95% in maxilla, especially in anterior region
- Mesiodens most common

Anodontia, Hypodontia, and Oligodontia: Prevalence, Frequency, Location, Genetics, Etiology, Associations
Initiation and Proliferation
- Prevalence
- Primary dentition: Less than 1% (0.5-0.9%)
- Permanent dentition: 1.5-10% excluding 3rd molars
- Frequency
- Females 1.5:1 males
- Third molars (20%), mandibular 2nd premolar (3.4%), maxillary lateral (2.2%), maxillary 2nd premolar (~0.85%)
- Genetics
- Inheritance pattern may be autosomal dominant or polygenic multifactorial
- Familial patterns may play a role
- Mutations of PAX9, MSX1, AXIN2 genes may be identified
- Problems may arise from:
- Failure of induction
- Abnormality of lamina
- Insufficient space
- Physical obstruction of lamina
- Significant correlation between missing primary and missing permanent successor
- May be associated with microdontia: peg lateral incisors are part of spectrum of hypodontia
- Agenesis of third molars is associated with agenesis of one or both permanent maxillary lateral incisors
- In some patients with hypodontia, other ectodermal organs are also affected: salivary glands (hyposalivation), skin, sweat glands, but not always in association with ectodermal dysplasia
