Topic 1: The Origin of Ectomesenchyme & Its Role in Tooth Development
1
...
Embryonic stage
Phases
Processes
Pre• Fertilized egg
implantation

Phase
(After rapid divisions)
morula

(After fluid accumulation & cells realign)
blastocyst
• Blastocyst: consists of trophoblast &
embryoblast

Embryonic
Phase
(2nd week)




Formation of bilaminar germ disc (day 8
of gestation)
2-layered disc:
o Epiblast layer: faces amniotic
cavity & columnar cells
o Hypoblast layer: faces yolk sac &
cuboidal cells

Pictures

Fetal period
3rd – 9th month
Embryo to fetus
Maturation to
existing structures

Embryonic
Phase
(3rd week)






Formation of
notochord






Gastrulation: Formation of trilaminar
germ disc
3-layered germ layers:
o Ectoderm
o Mesoderm
o Endoderm
Processes:
Increased proliferation of cells &
thickening in midline area

Primitive streak (ends as primitive
node / pit)

Forms 3 germ layers & notochord

Epiblast cells migrate & displace
hypoblast cells of yolk sac: forms
endoderm

Epiblast cells pack space between
ectoderm & endoderm: forms
mesoderm

Remaining epiblast cells: forms
ectoderm
Beneath primitive streak
Epiblast cells enter node & migrate
between ectoderm & endoderm
(midline) towards cranial region: forms
notochord
Notochord:
basis for axial skeleton & CNS
development & intervertebral disc

Neurulation














Differentiate ectoderm to form brain &
spinal cord
Thicken ectodermal layer

Neural plate

(further growth & thickening +
deepen & invaginate centrally)
Neural groove

(deepens further + forms raised
margin)
Neural fold

Neural folds fuse

A neural tube separates from
ectoderm

Ectodermal cells at crest of neural
tube gets separated from
epithelium:
Neural crest cells
3 mesodermal aggregates:
o Paraxial mesoderm (break into
Somatomeres & Somites)
o Intermediate mesoderm
o Lateral plate mesoderm
Neural crest cells fx:
Migrate & differentiate within
developing embryo
NCC migrate to 1st branchial arch below
oral epithelium:
Known as ectomesenchyme
Ectomesenchyme cells develop into:
Dentine, pulp & tooth supporting
structures (cementum, PDL & alveolar
bone)
Mesenchyme =
Embryonic CT & it is derived from
mesoderm





Embryonic
Phase
(4th week)












Teacher Collins syndrome:
Failure of full facial development bc
NCC fail to migrate properly to facial
region
Depletion of NCC

Prevents proper tooth development
Embryonic folding into embryo
Folding occurs at:
o Cephalic end
o Caudal end
o Lateral side
Head fold (at cephalic end):
Forms primitive stomodeum
Results of folding:
Positions of embryonic layers take on a
more recognizable placement for future
development of embryo
After folding:
o Ectoderm encapsulates embryo

Forms surface epithelium
o Mesoderm fills in area between
ectoderm & endoderm except 2
embryonic membranes:
buccopharyngeal membrane &
cloacal membrane)
Stomodeum = Primitive mouth
Originates as a depressed area of
surface ectoderm & foregut endoderm
In early embryo:
Stomodeum is sealed off from primitive
gut by buccopharyngeal membrane,
separating stomodeum from primitive
pharynx & foregut

th
4 week of prenatal:
Buccopharyngeal membrane
disintegrate + stomodeum is connected
to foregut

Primitive mouth is deepens & enlarged

Future development:
Stomodeum gives rise to oral cavity

Topic 2: Tooth Development
1
...
Genes
Questions
What controls initiation of
tooth development?

What controls position &
no
...


3
...
Hypothetical models explaining how different tooth shapes are determined
Theories
Field model

Descriptions
• Genes reside within ectomesenchyme in distinct but graded fields for
each tooth family
• Each fields express differing patterning homeobox genes
• Genes in oral epithelium provides signalling
• Coded pattern in ectomesenchyme might be expressed following an
epithelial signal
Clone model
• Each tooth class is derived from a clone of ectomesenchymal cells
programme by epithelium
• Ectomesenchyme assumes dominant role in crown formation
• For tooth initiation: both theories can be combined
