INTRODUCTION
❖ Development of tooth is a complex process initiated, mediated and controlled by the
interaction between ectoderm and supporting ectomesenchyme.
❖ For human teeth to have healthy oral environment, enamel, dentin, cementum & the
periodontium all must develop during appropriate stages of foetal development.
❖ Entire primary dentition is initiated between 6th and 7th weeks of embryonic
development.

ORIGIN OF TOOTH
The primitive oral cavity aka stomodeum, is lined by
stratified squamous epithelium called the oral
ectoderm or primitive oral epithelium.
The oral ectoderm + endoderm of the foregut
forms
buccopharyngeal membrane.
At 27th day IUL
membrane ruptures and the primitive oral cavity
establishes a connection with the foregut.
Fate of Dental Lamina
• Dental lamina 6 weeks IUL - 5 years of age.
• After tooth development is initiated at a
particular site, it degenerates at that location.
• The remnants may persist within the jaw or in
the gingiva as clusters of epithelial cells known as
epithelial pearls or epithelial cell rests of Serres.
• Significance of Cell Rests of Serres - Due to
unknown stimuli,the cell rests of Serres may start
proliferating and odontogenic cysts may develop
from them.
Tooth development
At certain points along the dental lamina, which represent the sites of the
future 20 deciduous teeth, the induction process is seen.
The ectomesenchyme induces the cells of the overlying ectoderm to start
dividing.
Thus small bud like or knob like structures are formed, which grow into the
underlying ectomesenchyme. (First ones to appear are of anterior
mandibular region)
This epithelial bud will give rise to the ectodermal part of the tooth, known as
Enamel Organ. Each bud or enamel organ represents the beginning of a
deciduous tooth.
As the enamel organ increases in size, it changes in shape due to differential
growth.
Takes shape that resembles a cap, with an outer
convex surface facing the oral cavity and an
inner concavity.
On the inside of the cap (i.e., inside the
depression of the enamel organ), the
ectomesenchymal cells increase in number.
Tissue appears more dense than the surrounding
mesenchyme and represents the beginning of
the dental papilla.
Surrounding the combined enamel organ and
dental papilla, the third part of the tooth bud
forms. It is the dental sac or dental follicle,
and it consists of ectomesenchymal cells and
fibers that surround the dental papilla and the
enamel organ.

Stages of tooth development
Bud Stage
The epithelium of the dental lamina is separated from the underlying ectomesenchyme
by a basement membrane.
The buds or primordia for the deciduous teeth are formed at 10 different points,
corresponding to the positions of the future deciduous teeth.
Primordia of Enamel organ develops, cells proliferate faster than adjacent cells.
Enamel organ consists of peripherally located low columnar cells and centrally located
polygonal cells
As a result of the increased mitotic activity and the migration of neural crest cells into
the area the ectomesenchymal cells surrounding the tooth bud condense.
The area of condensation immediately below the enamel organ is the dental papilla.
The ecto-mesenchymal condensation that surrounds the tooth bud & the dental papilla
is the tooth sac.
Cap Stage.
1. OUTER & INNER ENAMEL
EPITHELIUM:
❖Peripheral cells : cuboidal,
cover the convexity of the
cap-outer enamel epithelium
❖cells in the concavity of the
cap: columnar cells-inner
enamel epithelium
2. STELLATE RETICULUM:
❖ The ground substance in the centre of
the enamel organ is rich in GAG.
❖ Water is drawn into the enamel organ
from dental papilla.
❖ Polygonal cells get pushed apart from
each other.
❖ Increase in the intercellular spaces.
❖ The cells are connected to each other at
the desmosomal contacts and appear
star shaped and form a network.
❖ Acts as shock absorber; support and
protects enamel forming cells.
3. DENTAL PAPILLA:
• In the organizing influence of
proliferating epithelium of the enamel
organ, the ectomesenchyme proliferates.
• It condenses to form the dental papilla,
which is the formative organ of the
dentin and the primordium of the pulp.
The changes in the dental papilla occur
concomitantly with the development of
the epithelial enamel organ.
• The dental papilla shows active budding
of capillaries and mitotic figures, and its
peripheral cells adjacent to the inner
enamel epithelium enlarge and later
differentiate into the odontoblasts.
4. DENTAL SAC:
• There is condensation of ectomesenchyme around the enamel organ
and dental papilla.
• This condensation around the enamel organ and dental papilla is
called dental sac or dental follicle.
Difference between dental sac
and dental papilla
• Ectomesenchymal tissue is made up of cells
and fibres suspended in a ground substance,
along with supporting elements like blood
vessels and nerves etc.
• Dental papilla contains proportionately more
cells and less fibres.
• Dental sac contains proportionately more
fibres and less cells.
Bell stage
❖The bell stage, so called
because the enamel organ
comes to resemble a bell as
the undersurface of the
epithelial cap deepens.
❖ By the start of this stage
the shape of the tooth has
already been decided
(morpho differentiation).
Cell Types in Bell Stage
Four cell types are
seen-
1.Inner enamel
epithelium.
2.Stratum
intermedium.
3.Stellate reticulum.
4.Outer enamel
epithelium.
Inner enamel epithelium
❖ Tall columnar cells-40 micrometres high and 4-5 micrometres in diameter.
❖ Attached to each other laterally by junctional complexes and to cells of
stratum intermedium by desmosomes.
❖ These cells differentiate into ameloblasts prior to enamel
formation.(amelogenesis)
Stratum intermedium
❖ 3-4 layers of squamous cells between the inner enamel epithelium and the
stellate reticulum.
❖ Attached by desmosomes and gap junctions.
❖ There are abundant cell organelles ,acid mucopolysaccharides and glycogen
deposits in these cells, which indicate a high metabolic activity.
❖ Essential for enamel formation.
❖ It is absent in that part of the tooth germ that forms the root.
Stellate Reticulum
❖ The amount for intercellular fluid between the cells increases.
❖ The width of the stellate reticulum increases.
❖ This layer acts as a cushion or shock absorber for the cells of inner enamel
epithelium.
❖ Just before enamel formation begins, it collapses and becomes similar in
appearance to those of stratum intermedium.
❖ This change begins at the tips of the cusps and progresses cervically.
Outer Enamel Epithelium
❖ A single layer of very low cuboidal cells, lining the convexity of the bell.
❖ At the end of this stage, just before enamel formation, the smooth surface of
outer enamel epithelium gets thrown into folds.
➢ DENTAL LAMINA:
❖ Extends lingually; forms succesional lamina
❖ Forms enamel organ of permanent teeth.
➢ DENTAL PAPILLA:
❖ Peripheral cells of the dental papilla differentiate
into odontoblasts, which are initially cuboidal
and later become columnar and acquire the
potential to produce dentine.
❖ The basement membrane which separates the
enamel organ and the dental papilla just before
the formation of enamel and dentine is called
membrana preformativa.
➢ DENTAL SAC:
❖ The fibres of the dental sac form the
periodontal ligament fibres that span between the
root & the bone
APPOSITION ( Formation of
enamel and dentin matrix)
❖ It is the process by which the hard dental tissues,i.e enamel,dentine
and cementum are deposited.
❖ This takes place in an incremental pattern.
❖ This means that the organic matrix of these tissues are deposited in
form of layers.
❖ Periods of activity and rest alternate at definite intervals during
formation of these tissues.
Changes before enamel formation-
❖ The stellate reticulum collapses
❖ The formerly smooth surface of the outer enamel epithelium
is thrown into folds.
Breakup of dental lamina and crown pattern determination
❖ The dental lamina (and the lateral lamina) joining the tooth
germ to the oral epithelium fragments, eventually separating
the developing tooth from the oral epithelium.
❖ The inner enamel epithelium completes its folding, making it
possible to recognize the shape of the future crown pattern
of the tooth.
Reciprocal Induction
• The inner enamel epithelium induces. the
peripheral cells of dental papilla to
differentiate into odontoblasts.
• The odontoblasts start secreting the organic
matrix of dentine.
• After the first layer of dentine matrix is
formed,the ameloblasts in that area
differentiate fully and start secreting the
enamel matrix.
• This interdependence of the two tissues is an
example of reciprocal induction.
Root formation
❖ Once crown formation is completed, epithelial cells of the inner and outer
enamel epithelium proliferate from the cervical loop of the enamel organ to
form a double layer of cells known as Hertwig's epithelial root sheath
❖ The rim of this root sheath, the epithelial diaphragm, encloses the primary
apical foramen. As epithelial cells of the root sheath progressively enclose
more and more of the expanding dental pulp, they initiate the differentiation
of odontoblasts from ectomesenchymal cells at the periphery of the pulp,
facing the root sheath.
❖These cells eventually form the dentin of the root. In this way a single-rooted
tooth is formed.
• As the root sheath
fragments, it leaves behind
a number of discrete
clusters of epithelial cells,
separated from the
surrounding connective
tissue by a basal lamina,
known as the epithelial
cell rests of Malassez
DENTINOGENESIS
❖ Dentinogenesis, starts before
amelogenesis.
❖ Dentin is formed by odontoblast
cells.
It takes place in two phases:
❖ First, the formation of organic
collagen matrix and
❖ Second, the deposition of
hydroxyapatite crystals
❖ At the beginning of
dentinogenesis, the odontoblast
elongate resulting in the
formation of Tomes fibres or
odontoblastic processes.

of the tissue.
Important markers for tooth formation
❖ Initiation of tooth occurs at E11.
❖ Earliest markers for tooth formation are Lhx-6 and Lhx-7.
❖ Prime inductor of Lhx genes is Fgf-8 which is expressed at a proper time in first arch epithelium only.
Determinants of position and type of tooth
❖ The Pax- 9 gene is the earliest mesenchymal gene that localizes the tooth germs.
❖ This is also induced by Fgf -8.
❖ The expression of Pax-9 is downregulated by BMP-2, BMP-4.
❖ Tooth type determination is known as Patterning of the dentition.
❖ Seen in heterodont species.
Clinical considerations
➢ Initiation defects
➢ Proliferation defects
➢ Histodifferentiation defects
➢ Morphodifferentiation defects
➢ Apposition defects
➢ Root formation defects
Initiation defects
❖Anodontia
❖Fusion
❖Gemination
ANODONTIA
➢ Anodontia also called anodontia vera is
characterized by the congenital absence of all
primary or permanent teeth
➢ Types-
I. Complete anodontia /True anodontia
(refers to total absence of teeth)
II. Partial anodontia/subtotal anodontia (is the
congenital absence of one to six permanent
teeth excluding the 3rd molars due to the
failure of those teeth to develop, known as
tooth agenesis)
III. Oligodontia ( refers to absence of more than 6
teeth)
➢ Often associated with Hereditary ectodermal
dysplasia.
FUSION
❖ Fused teeth arise through union of two normally separated
tooth germs.
❖ Depending upon the stage of the teeth at the time of union,
fusion may be either complete/ incomplete.
❖ If this contact occurs early at least before calcification begins
two teeth may be completely united to form a single large
tooth.
❖ If this contact occurs later when a portion of tooth crown has
completed its formation there may be union of roots only.
❖ The possible clinical problems are- spacing, periodontal
condition.
❖ Syndrome – SOLITARY MEDIAN MAXILLARY
CENTRAL INCISOR SYNDROME
(The development of only one maxillary central incisor is an
indication for further evaluation for other anomalies such as
short stature with or without growth hormone deficiency,
microcephaly, choanal atresia, midnasal stenosis, and
congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis).
GEMINATION
❖ . Geminated teeth are anomalies which arise from an attempt
at division of a single tooth germ by an invagination with
resultant incomplete formation of two teeth.
❖ The structure is usually one with two completely or
incompletely separated crowns that have a single root and
root canal.
❖ It is seen in deciduous as well as permanent dentition
❖ Treatment of a permanent anterior geminated tooth
may involve reduction of the mesiodistal width of the
tooth to allow for normal development of the
occlusion. Periodic “disking” of the tooth is
recommended when the crown is not excessively large,
as is eventual preparation of the tooth for restoration if
dentin is exposed.
PROLIFERATION DEFECT
❖ Supernumerary teeth
❖ Odontoma
SUPERNUMERARY TEETH
➢ Results from continued proliferation of
permanent or primary dental lamina to
form extra tooth germ.
➢ Teeth may have- normal morphology,
rudimentary, miniature.
➢ Supernumerary teeth are common more
often in permanent dentition than primary
dentition.
➢ They are more common in maxilla than in
mandible.
➢ They may be impacted or partially erupted.
➢ Because of additional tooth bulk it causes-
malposition of adjacent teeth, prevent their
eruption.
➢ The most common supernumerary teeth are-
I. Mesiodens
II. Fourth molar- maxillary paramolar, distomolar/ distodens
III. Mandibular premolar
IV. Maxillary lateral incisor
V. Mandibular central incisor
VI. Maxillary premolars
➢ Most common supernumerary tooth is mesiodens, situated
between maxillary central incisor.
➢ Second most common tooth is fourth molar, situated distal
to 3rd molar

ENAMEL HYPOPLASIA
➢ It is defined as an incomplete or defective formation of the organic
enamel matrix of the teeth.
➢ Two basic types of enamel hypoplasia exists
- Hereditary and the other type caused by environmental factors
➢ Factors that may give rise to this condition including-
❖ Nutritional deficiency( vit A,C,D)
❖ Exanthematous diseases
❖ Congenital syphilis
❖ Hypocalcemia
❖ Birth injury, prematurity, Rh hemolytic disease
❖ Local infection or trauma
CONCRESENCE
➢ It is actually a form of fusion which occurs
after root formation has been completed. In
this condition, teeth are united by cementum
only.
➢ It is thought to arise as a result of traumatic
injury or crowding of teeth with resorption
of the interdental bone so that the two
roots are in approximate contact and
become fused by the deposition of
cementum between them.
➢ Concrescence may occur before or after the
teeth have erupted, and although it usually
involves only two teeth.
➢ Diagnosis can be frequently made by the use
of radiograph.
CONCLUSION
❖ The developmental anomalies of teeth show variations
and no two anomalies of the same type are alike.
❖ Anomalies in the primary dentition are important
because of their effect on the underlying permanent
dentition.
❖ Early identification of these anomalies and intervention
at the appropriate time would minimize complicated
treatments in future.
