This flashcard set delves into the intricate processes of dentin and enamel formation, covering key components like odontoblasts, ameloblasts, and the roles of proteins such as amelogenin and collagen. It explores the phases of enamel formation, the types of dentin, and the mineralization processes in various tissues. Ideal for university-level dental students, this set provides a comprehensive understanding of the structural and functional aspects of dental tissues, essential for grasping advanced dental biology concepts.

Flashcards

Oct 10, 2014. EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX (collagen, elastin, proteoglycans). Dr. Clive Roberts. Fibroblasts lay down ____ , and can differentiate into which 4 types of cells?

cartilage. 

 

bone cells, fats cells, cartilage cell, and smooth muscle cells. 

how is matrix gene expression influenced?

1. adherence to the matrix influences gene expression 

2. mechanical stresses in matrix influence gene expression 

3. matrix binds biologically active molecules (eg. chemokines) that have signalling properties. 

which two receptors do cells use to interact with the matrix?

1. integrins (high affinity adhesion)

2. CD44 (hyaluronan receptor) - low affinity adhesion, often used in migration 

periodontal ligament (PDL) contains which types of connective tissue? 

draw a diagram of the stress strain relationship of the three types of connective tissue . what does the slope in such a diagram mean? 

the steeper the slope, the stiffer the material.

 

*tendon is representative of collagen, while cartilage is representative of proteoglycan

collagen is organized in the form of _____ _____, with 1/3 of _____ residues to form the inner core, a high content of ________ to form kinks, and ____________ to form H-bonds

triple helix;

glycine

proline

hydroxyproline

abnormal collagen formation will result in which 3  types of diseases?

dermatosparaxis ,OI (genetic) and scurvy (nutritional)

describe how scurvy arises.

1. ascorbate is needed in redox cycling of iron in proline hydroxylase

2. proline hydroxylase contains iron, and it hydrolizes proline to hydroxyproline

3. hydroxyproline is necessary for proper collagen triple helix structure 

*scurvy is caused by the lack of ascorbic acid in the diet

there are 4 different types of collagens (I,II,III,IV) , where are these types found?

type I,III are found in skin

type II is found in cartilage

type III is found in blood vessels 

type IV is found in basal laminae 

 

mnemonic: type I is the strongest, type IV is the weakest , 

therefore , type ONE forms bONE and skin and dentin

type TWO forms only carTWOlage 

elastin has a high content of _______ amino acids. ____ forms the meshwork on which elastin fibers are assembled. Improper meshwork will cause a disease called _______ syndrome. The enzyme _______ ______ forms ______ crosslinks between elastin fibers, and improper functioning of this enzyme will result in the disease called ______  disease

hydrophobic . 

Fibrillin

Marfan syndrome

 

lysyl oxidase; COVALENT

menkes disease

The meshwork of proteoglycans is __________ . Proteoglycans are glycoproteins that contain the polysaccharide ________________. Why is the negative charge on this polysaccharide is important to the function of proteoglycans? 

Collagen 

 

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) 

The negative charge is important becaues it attracts positively charged ions like Ca, K , and Na.

Most importantly, it creates an osmotic swelling pressure to the proteoglycan, and this osmotic pressure causing to structure to expand is counter-balanced by the collagen meshwork, which bounds the proteoglycan.

Aggrecan is the "aggregating " ________ of cartilage. It is a monomer of ____  proteins with primarily ____ ____ glycosylation. It aggregates cartilage by forming polymers with ________ and ___proteins.

proteoglycan.

 

250k 

 

chondroitin sulphate

 

hyaluronan and link proteins

SEPT26, 2014. DEVELOPMENT AND STRUCTURE OF DENTIN AND ENAMEL. DR. CLIVE ROBERTS. PDL and sub-endothelial matrix both have ____, ____, and _______. 

collagen, elastin, proteoglycan

dentin (odontoblast) and enamel (ameloblast) formation: describe this process briefly

1. epithelial cells induce papilla mesenchymal cells to become differentiated odontoblasts

2. the underlying papilla mesenchymal cells induce the overlying epithelial to become ameloblasts. 

* the stellate reticulum provides ions for the developing enamel cells

(dentin formation must always occur before enamel formation)

The first layer of dentin formed from odontoblasts is called ____ ____

mantle dentin

Root dentin formation involves ______ ______ _____ _____ and proceeds for  __ years after eruption.

Hertwig's Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS) and proceeds for 3 years after eruption

enamel formation: the _______ of hydroxyapatite gives the crystals a starting place to grow. 

nucleation

abacus bodies are only found in ________________

odontoblasts

the process of mineralization occurs in the :

mineralization occurs in collagen-proteoglycan matrices except in _____. Briefly describe the steps of mineralization.

enamel. 

 

Teeth / bone has a lot of hydroxyapatite (mineral form of CaPO4) 

1. Ca2+ is bound by osteocalcin (a pro-osteoblastic protein) and sialoproteins

2. ECM phosphate concentration is increased by Alkaline phosphate, an enzyme secreted by ameloblasts/odontoblasts/osteoblasts that release phosphates from molecules into the ECM.

3. CaPO4  crystallizes , maturing to its mineral form hydroxyapatite

distinguish the difference between primary, secondary and tertiary dentin

primary: most of the tooth

secondary dentin: deposited with age, especially in the roof and floor of molars

tertiary dentin: dentin formed as a reaction to external stimuli, such as cavities. It can be reactionary (dentin formed from pre-existing odontoblasts), or reparative (dentin formed from new odontoblasts that replaced dead ones).

 

reparative dentin is aka SCLEROTIC dentin 

define the following terms: 

mantle dentin 

circumpulpal dentin 

pertibular dentin 

sclerotic dentin

mantle dentin: very first layer made by odontoblasts under the epithelial cells

circumpulpal dentin: dentin around the pulp

peritubular dentin: dentin around the dentin tubules; has more minerals

sclerotic dentin: dentin formed as a result of reparative mechanisms (dentin formed by new odontoblasts that replace the dead ones) 

____ mineralized enamel is more translucent, while ____ mineralized enamel is more opaque.

more mineralized, more translucent

 

less mineralized , more opaque

the formation of enamel is divided into the _____ and the ______ phase. What does each phase involve?

secretory and maturation phase. 

 

secretory phase involves production of a 30% mineralized matrix 

maturation phase involves removal of organic material , and mineral goes up to 95% 

in enamel formation, ameloblasts contribute 5 types of proteins, what are they?

Amelogenin

Ameloblastin

Enamelin

Enamelysin 

Kallikrein 4 

Explain the function of amelogenin, ameloblastin, and enamelysin. Describe mutations to these proteins

amelogenin forms 'jelly' in vitro. Mutations lead to hypoplastic enamel lacking rods

 

Ameloblastin is involved in cell matrix interaction with enamel synthesis. Mutations cause ameloblasts to detach from the cell matrix. 

 

Enamelysin: proteinase that 'trims' enamel, esp. in adults. Mutations lead to poorly structured enamel.
