Clinical Consideration in Tooth Development
PRESENTED BY : Dr. SHASHI BHAL MAURYA MDS FIRST YEAR
ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL PATHOLOGY AND MICROBIOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
• Teeth are specialized structural components of the craniofacial skeleton and are comprised of : enamel, dentin, and cementum.
• Developmental defects occur in each of these mineralized tissues, either alone (isolated), or in a combination (syndromic) with defects in other organs or tissues
Four signalling pathways, are repeatedly used throughout tooth development.
the bone morphogenetic proteins (Bmp), fibroblast growth factors (Fgf), sonic hedgehog (Shh), wingless-related (Wnt) pathways
Inactivation of any of these resulted in early tooth developmental arrest in mice.
E 11.5 – thickening of oral epithelium
Expression of key signaling molecules Bmp, Fgf, Wnt, Shh
Blocking each of these molecules results in tooth arrest in dental lamina or bud stage
Bmp and Fgf signaling is required for activation of expression of the Msx1 and Pax9

PARTIAL ANODONTIA

Wnt signaling is required early in tooth germ formation and interference with signaling via addition of an antagonist results in retarded development and formation of smaller teeth; mutation of β-catenin causes formation of large, misshapen teeth buds and ectopic teeth.
E 11.5 – thickening of oral epithelium
Epithelium proliferates and invaginates into the neural crest cell derived mesenchyme
and forms BUD
E 13.5 – BUD clearly forms and surrounded by the condensing mesenchyme
Prior to the transition of bud to cap primary enamel knot forms at the tip of the tooth bud.And exihibits restricted expression of Bmp, Fgf, Wnt
ENAMEL KNOTBmp4 signaling from condensing mesenchyme and p21 from dental epithelium– induction of enamel
knot.
Plays central role in patterning of tooth crown by regulating growth and folding of the epithelium.
Addition of Bmp4 in oral epithelium
Upregulation of enamel knot marker such as p21
Overexpression of P21 –enlarged enamel knot and cuspal defects.Like Dense in Dente, Dense Evaginatus, Talons cusp
DENSE IN DENTE DENSE EVAGINATUS TALON CUSP
E 14.5 - high proliferation outside the enamel knot and low proliferation within the knot
Forming cap shape structure
If the shape of enamel knot is too small with mutation of Eda or Edaradd (Eda expression is regulated by Wnt)
Hypohidrotic Ectodermal DysplasiaCharacterized by presence of molars with reduced
cusps and peg like teeth.
If Wnt signaling blocked in early bell stage when the secondary enamel knot is forming --- again expression of Eda will reduced and molar forms with flattened cusps
Reducing tooth number• It can be due to—FUSION-fusion of existing tooth germ to form single compound tooth.Fusion observed in-
SMMCI (single median maxillary central incisor syndrome) Caused by failure in growth in midline, stimulated by a defect in SHH
signalling pathway (Nanni et al 2001)
Increase in tooth number
In the wild-type mouse mandible,• one incisor forms from each incisor placode,• three molars (M1, M2 and M3)forming from the molar placode.
1. One way increase number of tooth is to increase the number of placode.(Ectopic application of Shh has been shown to lead to formation of ectopic tooth germs).
2. SPLITTING OF TOOTH GERM (GEMINATION): Rabbit molars were halved two miniature molars formed (Glasstone 1952)
3. Multiple teeth have been shown to arise from the molar field in mice where β-catenin has been overexpressed (Jarvinen et al. 2006; Liu et al. 2008).a) In mice - a) molar region was explanted in to kidney capsule three molars forms.
b) Molar region explanted into β-catenin mouse 40 teeth forms (Jarvinen et al.2006).
The initial tooth buds form normally, but the dental epithelium then starts to undergo further budding and invaginations, leading to the formation of additional enamel knots and additional teeth and leads to the formation of ODONTOMA.
4. Similar overproduction has been described in Epfn mutant mouse (Nakamura et al. 2008).
5. In human patients with a mutation in APC (is a Wnt modifier) supernumerary teeth and odontomas are observed (Fader et al. 1962; Wolf et al. 1986; Wang et al. 1998)
Changing the complexityComplexity of tooth- Altered by addition or removal of tooth.
Etiology -1) Diet- diet dependent changes of dental pattern seen in both carnivores and rodents (Evans et al
2007)
2) Formation of additional enamel knot- overstimulation of Eda signaling pathway
3) NUMBER of cusp depends on both cusp size and tooth size.• Larger tooth –more space to develop additional cusp• If cusp is smaller – more cusp can be be fitted in (Cai et al 2007)• Eg. Small molar (artificially created ) by recombining a small number of
mesenchymal cells with tooth epithelium number of cusp generated was reduced(Hu et al 2006)
Mineralization:epithelial mesenchymal interaction
After the disappearance of the secondary enamel knot signalling centres, cells of the tooth organ terminally differentiates-
• Inner enamel epithelium cells – Ameloblastoma• Dental pulp mesenchyme- Odontoblast
Tgfb1, Fgfs, and Bmp2
Induce polarization of Odontoblast (Begue-et al
1994)
The later stages of tooth development are characterized by the formation of the mineralized tissue: dentin,cementum and enamel. Dentin and cementum have significant similarities with bone.
(Linde & Goldberg, 1993),
ENAMEL: Inherited enamel defect known as Amelogenesis imperfecta.
Ameloblast secretes two major class of proteins- Nonglycosylated –amelogennin – 90%of enamel matrix Glycosylated – Tuftelin
• Ameloblastin• Enamelin
Enamelin (ENAM) – main candidate responsible for autosomal inherited form of Amelogenesis Imperfecta.Amelogenin (AMLEX) mutation leads to X-linked Amelogenesis Imperfecta.Also occurs due to mutation in Enamelysin and Kallikrein (KLK4).
DENTINDentinal defects are classified into
dentin dysplasia type 1 and type 2 dentinogenesis imperfecta type 1, type 2 and type 3
Dentinogenesis imperfecta universally designated as Osteogenesis imperfecta with Dentinogenesis imperfecta.
Occurs due to mutation in type1 collagen.
Dentin dysplasia type 1 and type 2 Dentinogenesis imperfecta
Mutation in DSPP, COL1A1 AND COL1A2
Root formation
Expression of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Msx Genes during Root Formation

trauma to the calcified portion of the tooth germ which alters the angulation of the tooth during root formation leads to .Dilaceration
.(NEVILLE)
The formation of ectopic enamel requires the presence of differentiated ameloblasts apical to the CEJ. In humans, Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) or its residues, the epithelial rests of Malassez have been implicated as the likely sources of ectopic ameloblasts.
Shivani sharma et al Enamel pearl on an unusual location associated with localized periodontal disease: A clinical report, J Indian Soc Periodontol. 2013 Nov-Dec; 17(6): 796–800
If cells of the epithelial root sheath remain adherent to the dentin surface, they may differentiate into fully functioning ameloblasts and produce enamel. Such droplets of enamel called Enamel pearls,
Mass of ectopic enamel located inthe furcation area of a molar tooth.
Genetic defects occurring late in tooth developmentDLX3 mutation causes the deformation in multirooted tooth known as TAURODONTISM
(Bull like shape).
HYPOPHOSPHATASIA is a bone disorder caused by mutation in ALPL (alkaline phosphatase).
Histological examination of pt with hypophophatasia
Shows lack of both cellular and acellular cementum formation.
