Introduction
Teeth develop differently in different regions of the mouth in most species, a process called heterodonty. In some animals, teeth develop identically in different regions of the mouth, a process called homodonty. Different species will have varying numbers of teeth and different shapes depending largely on their diet. Not all species possess teeth and there is huge variation in dental formulae between the species that have teeth. Teeth are mainly used for mastication - chewing and grinding food particles, but are also used for seizing prey and tearing. The occlusion surface is where opposing teeth touch. The contact surface is where adjacent teeth touch.
Tooth Development
Tooth development occurs in the following stages;
1. Focal thickening of oral epithelium on the medial aspect of the labiogingival groove forms the dental lamina.
2. The mesenchyme under each laminae condenses.
3. The dental lamina invaginates to form the dental bud.
4. The dental bud expands and branches to become the enamel organ.
5. The enamel organ surrounds the neural crest cell derived, dental papilla.
6. The combination of the enamel organ and dental papillae forms the deciduous tooth.
7. Small mass of cells bud off the dental lamina forming the primordium of the permanent tooth which continues development.
8. The inner cell layer of enamel organ (from oral epithelium) differentiates into ameloblasts.
9. Neighbouring cells in the dental papillae (from neural crest cells) differentiate into odontoblasts.
10. Dentine surrounds pulp to produce the root of the tooth.
11. Epithelial cells near the distal tooth form cementoblasts, secreting cementum around the tooth root.
There is a reciprocal inductive interaction between the oral epithelium and mesenchyme precursors. The mesenchyme forms the tooth, it has labile differentiative properties but stable morphogenic properties. Tooth formation starts at the crown and progresses towards the root. The tooth does not acquire full length until the crown has emerged. Tooth growth is appositional.
