6. Life Cycle of the Tooth
• Growth
• Initiation
• Proliferation
• Histodifferentiation
• Morphodifferentiation
• Apposition
• Calcification
• Eruption
• Attrition
7. Primary Epithelial band/ 6th week
Continuous band of
thickened epithelium
Roughly horse shoe shaped
Thickening first seen in ant
midline
8.
9. Contd thickening of DL in 10 areas of upper/ lower arch
Thickenings correspond to position of future primary dentn
10. Proliferation
• Multiplication of the
cells of the initiation
stage
• Formation of the tooth
germ
• Cap Stage
• formation of the Dental
Papilla
• Stellate reticulum –
Enamel pulp
• 9-11 weeks
23. Stages in tooth growth
Morphologic stage physiologic stage
Dental lamina and Bud stage Initiation
Cap stage Proliferation
Bell stage[ Early] Hiisto defferentiation
Bell stage {advanced} Morpho defferentitiation
Formation of enamel Apposition
and dentin matrix
31. Theories of Eruption
• Root Formation Theory
• Proliferation of the Hertwig’s Epithelial
Root Sheath
• Proliferation of the connective tissue of
the papilla
• Simultaneous growth of the jaw
• Pressures from muscular action
• Apposition and resorption of bone
32. Exfoliation of the Primary
Tooth
• Pressure on the roots by the erupting
permanent tooth
• Development of osteoclasts
• Successive resorption of tooth root,
cementum, dentin and adjacent bone
due to the action of the osteoclasts.
