Q

What is the order of reciprocal induction?

A

-Inner Enamel Epithelial cells differentiate into pre-ameloblasts and become polarized -Preameloblasts then include outer dental papilla cells to differentiate into preodontoblasts which turn into odontoblasts

Q

Tomes processes of late secretory ameloblasts form what?

A

Enamel prisms (prismless enamel is formed by early secretory ameloblasts)

23
Q

Enamel matrix secreted by Ameloblasts immediately calcify to ______% of full mineralization

A

25%

24
Q

What are the seven stages of ameloblast life cycle

A

1-Inner enamel epithelial cells 2-Preameloblasts (reverse polarity) 3-Initial secretory ameloblast (prismless enamel) 4-Secretory ameloblast (Tomes process/enamel process) 5-Smooth-ended maturation ameloblast (remove protein/water) 6-Ruffled-ended maturation ameloblast (introduction of inorganic material) 7-Protective ameloblast (enamel cuticle)

25
Q

Once the enamel has fully matured what forms?

A

Reduced enamel epithelium (REE)

26
Q

initial dentin mineralization is in the form of globules and produces what?

A

globular dentin

27
Q

Initial layers of dentin next to the DEJ is called what?

A

Mantle dentin (Perpendicular fibers)

28
Q

Dentin around the pulp is called what?

A

Cirumpulpal dentin (parallel fibers)

29
Q

What is the the connection of inner enamel epithelium and outer enamel epithelium that induces root formation and then disintegrates?

A

Hertwigs Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS)

30
Q

Hertwigs Epithelium Root sheath remnants that persist in the Periodontal ligament are called what?

A

Epithelial rests of Malassez

31
Q

Induction of dental sac cells differentiate into what?

A

Cementoblasts which secrete cementoid which mineralizes into cementum *if cemtoblasts are trapped into lacunae they are cemtocytes

32
Q

Dental sac ectomesenchyme cells differentiate into what?

A

Fibroblasts that secret collagen and form the PDL

33
Q

What signaling molecules start the formation of the dental placodes and thus the dental lamina?

A

SHH Lef1 Msx-1

34
Q

what structure, that is next to the dental lamina, dies to give rise to the labial or lingual sulcus?

A

the vestibular lamina

35
Q

what is the old name for the lamina/bud stage?

A

initiation

36
Q

what is the old name for the cap/early bell stage?

A

morphogenesis

37
Q

what is the old name for the late bell stage?

A

cell terminal differentiation

38
Q

what is the old name for the dentin/enamel/cementum/bone stage?

A

matrix synthesis

39
Q

what structures do we find in the cap stage?

A

enamel organ dental papilla dental follicle

40
Q

at the cap stage, ectomesenchyme cells condense around the developing cap. These become what two things?

A

dental papilla dental sac

41
Q

what 3 things make up the ‘tooth germ’

A

enamel organ dental papilla dental sac

42
Q

what side of the tooth does the sucessional dental lamina form (the dental lamina that will give rise to the succedaneous tooth?

A

lingual side

43
Q

at the advanced cap stage, what is taking over the signalling?

A

the mesenchyme or more specifically the dental papilla

44
Q

what about growth patterns allow cusp formation?

A

differential growth rates cause cusp formation and folding of the tooth.

45
Q

the dental sac gives rise to what?

A

the periodontium/alveolar bone

46
Q

what are some event highlights that happen in the apposition stage after odontoblasts and ameloblasts are differentiated and start functioning?

A

the DEJ forms Odontoblasts retreat from the DEJ leaving processes within predentin Ameloblasts retreat from the DEJ while initially laying down prismless enamel

47
Q

what structure induces the differentiation of preameloblasts into ameloblasts?

A

predentin

48
Q

where does the PDL come from?

A

the dental sac ectomesenchyme cells differentiate into fibroblasts which secrete collagen that become the ligament

49
Q

T/F The roots are fully formed at eruption.

A

False

50
Q

According to D’Souza, what are some important molecules in embryonic development?

A

TGF-Beta (BMP in this fam) FGF SHH Wnt

51
Q

What is the field theory of tooth development?

A

says that the neural crest cells come down and then get influenced by factors that tell them what tooth to become

52
Q

what is the clone theory of tooth development?

A

the cells come from the neural crest and they are partially preprogramed with a particular tooth identity

53
Q

What tissue induces early tooth formation? the epithelium or the mesenchyme?

A

first the epithelium has inductive power, then later the dental papilla mesenchyme has inductive power.
