Resource summary
AMELOGENISIS
ENAMEL is a highly mineralised epithelial product
NOT a connective tissue
It composes of 96% mineral - mainly HYDROXYAPATITE
Contains 1-2% organic matrix: enamel proteins
Its composed of another 2% WATER
Enamel begins to form after dentine
1.Inner Enamel Epithelium mature from cuboidal to columnar cells
2.Pappilla cells divide to form Odontoblasts
IEE begins to polarise and form preameloblasts
3.Papilla cells migrate across acellular zone where they become odontoblasts
5.Predentine mineralises against Basal Lamina
6.More Dentine forms and Basal Lamina desintegrates
7.Ameloblasts move upwards and outward
9.Tomes Process forms on ameloblasts which provides a prism structure to enamel
They continue to retreat and lay down enamel
As they move away they leave a process behind through Basal Lamina
4.Odontoblasts retreat and Preameloblasts get larger
FORMATION OF ENAMEL
PREAMELOBLASTS
Polarised and contains lots of Mitochondria, RER,Golgi Apparatus
Basal Lamina disintegrates and PA becomes ameloblast
It then secretes enamel proteins that become mineralised
Terminal Web is the line between cells
AMELOGENISIS:Dentine formation and breakdown of Basal Lamina
Ameloblast secretes organic matrix
ENAMEL MATRIX
Laid down as an amorphous gel
Consists of enamel proteins and enzymes
amelogenins, enamelins,
AMELOGENINS
Rich in Proline and Glutamate
Hydrophobic hence packed together
spread through enamel thickness
ROLE OF ENAMEL PROTIENS
Aid neucleation of Hydorxyapatite
No matrix vesicles
Tuftelin may have a role
there is an immediate partial mineralisation of secreted matrix
Followed by rapid crystal growth
MATURATION
Thin crystals grow in thickness
Requires mineral ions to come in
Enzymes break down amelogenins
ENAMELINS:protein of ameloblasts or product of amelogenins
MATURATION
Enamel thickness laid down, Tomes Process is lost
ENAMEL CUTICLE
Formed when maturation is complete
REDUCED ENAMEL EPITHELIUM
Formed when enamel is complete
attached to enamel cuticle
Protect enamel surface from resorption
Provides and epithelial pathway for eruption
Form initial Junctional Epithelium
