Which of the following is correct about the primary epithelial band
Answer
Thickening of the oral epithelium seen at 7th week
Tooth formation is limited mesiodistally
Becomes dental lamina upon invasion of the ectomesenchyme
becomes lamina and thickens at 7th week
all of the things
Question 3
Question
Which of the following is incorrect?
Answer
The primary epithelial band forms both the dental and vestibular lamina
The dental lamina comes from the dental placode
There are 16 dental placodes per arch
Thickening at the primary epithelial band indicates formation of future teeth
SHH and PITX2 are expressed in the primary epithelial band
Question 4
Question
During the cap stage, which of the following occurs?
Answer
Positively charged proteoglycans are formed to attract water
Lots of mitosis for formation of cervical loop
Epithelial cells form outer enamel
proteoglycans and mitosis
proteoglycans and enamel
Question 5
Question
Which of the following is incorrectly matched?
Answer
enamel organ... cell rest of Malassez
dental papilla... pulp tissue
dental follicle... periodontal ligament
dental papilla... junctional epithelium
dental follicle... alveolar bone
Question 6
Question
Which of the following is incorrect?
Answer
Enamel pearls can form during the late bell stage
Enamel knots do not divide and are organizing centers for cusp formation
The major protein of dentin is type 3 collagen
All of the above
Type 3 collagen and enamel knots
Question 7
Question
All succedaneous teeth form from lingual extensions of the dental lamina. Molars also develop from lingual extensions of the dental lamina
Answer
Both true
True, False
False, True
Both false
Question 8
Question
Which of the following is false?
Answer
Some of the cervical loop cells form cell rests of Malassez
The periodontal ligament is a special ligament made from epithelial cells
Some Hertwig's epithelial root sheath cells become epithelial cell rests of Malassez
None of the above
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions induce dentinogenesis, root morphogenesis, and cementum formation
Question 9
Question
Mo SHH, mo cusps? Insulin-like growth factor is associated with Hertwig's epithelial root sheath?
Answer
Both true
True, false
False, true
Both false
Question 10
Question
FGF4 is involved in Hertwig's epithelial root sheath formation. FGF10 is involved in cusp formation
Answer
Both true
True, false
False, true
Both false
Question 11
Question
According to the Homeobox Code Theory, BMP4 and FGF 8/9 ratios determine tooth type. Anterior-posterior axis set by PMP4 posteriorly and FGF 8/9 anteriorly.
Answer
Both true
True, false
False, true
Both false
Question 12
Question
In homeobox theory, signaling molecules determine tooth type and axis within primary epithelial band. Clone theory states that clones give inhibitory signals to stop formation of additional teeth
