📖 1. Tooth Development

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Tooth Germ: The embryonic structure that gives rise to a tooth, formed from ectodermal and ectomesenchymal cells during development.
  • Enamel: The hardest mineralized tissue covering the crown of the tooth, produced by ameloblasts.
  • Dentin: The mineralized tissue beneath enamel, forming the bulk of the tooth, produced by odontoblasts.
  • Crown and Root: The visible part of the tooth (crown) and the part embedded in the alveolar bone (root).
  • Odontogenesis: The process of tooth formation involving stages like initiation, bud, cap, bell, and eruption.
  • Eruption: The process by which a tooth moves from its developmental position within the jaw to its functional position in the oral cavity.
