4- An oral vestibule is the space between the maxilla and the mandible on one side and the lips and the checks on the other side. 5-The second stage of odontogensis is called the initiation stage.
6-The ectomesenchymal cells condensation just beneath the enamel organ is called dental sac.
7- The connective tissue-beneath-and around the enamel organ and dental papilla forming what is called dental sac (follicle).
8- A basement membrane remains between the bud and the growing underlying ectomesenchyme.
9-The tooth primordium has three components enamel organ, dental papilla and dental lamina.10-The dental organ is ectomesenchymal in origin, while both dental papilla and dental sac are ectodermal in origin. 11-The field model proposes that ectomesenchyme assumes the dominant role in crown pattern formation. 12- The clone model proposes that epithelium assumes the dominant role in crown pattern formation. 13-The third stage of odontogenesis is called the cap stage.
14- The stratum intermedium cells synthesize and secrete glcyosaminoglycans.
15-The lingual extension of the dental lamina is called vestibular lamina.
16-The permanent molars are succedaneous and have no primary predecessors.
17-The permanent molars develop from a posterior extension of the dental lamina.
18-The fourth stage of odontogensis is called the apposition stage.
19-In the bell stage, the connection of dental organ to the dental lamina is elongated forming a lateral dental lamina.

20-The configuration of the inner enamel epithelium maps out the incisal or occlusal pattern of the crown of the tooth.
21-The point at which inner enamel epithelium differentiation first occurs represents the site of future ADJ.
22-The region where the inner and outer enamel epithelia meet at the rim of the enamel organ is known as cervical loop.
23-The stellate reticulum layer is most fully developed at the cap stages. 24- The cells of stratum intermedium contain much alkaline phosphatase enzyme which essential for dentin maturation.
25- The remnants of the dental lamina and the lateral dental lamina are called epithelial pearls.
26-The peripheral cells of the dental papilla will differentiate into odontoblasts whereas the inner cells are the primordium of the dentin.
27-The final stage of odontogensis is known as apposition stage.
28- The permanent structures seen during the early stages of tooth development are enamel knot, enamel cord and enamel niche.29-Enamel knot are clusters of dividing epithelial cells.

Tooth Eruption1- Tooth eruption continues throughout the whole life span of the tooth.
2- Pre-eruptive phase begins in the cap stage and ends at the beginning of root formation. 3- Increase in width of the jaws: lead to movement of the germs labially and occlusally (bodily movement).4-Increase in height of jaws leads to the occlusal movement (Excentric growth).5-Bodily (drifting) and eccentric growth are the types of movement in pre-eruptive phase.6-Eccentric growth means that the developing tooth germ remains stationary in its place.7- In eccentric growth, bone resorption occurs on the whole crypt wall.
8- Eruptive phase begins by root formation and ends when the tooth reaches the occlusal plane.
9- In extra-osseous stage of eruption, the rate of eruption decelerates.
10-If there are prolonged delays in eruption, ankylosis of tooth to bone can result.
11- Clinically tooth eruption accompanied by discomfort or pain, increased salivation and bleeding.
12-Eruptive path is achieved by the Gubernacular bony canal which is filled with the Gubernacular cord. 13-In a dried skull, holes that identified in the jaws on the labial aspects of the anterior deciduous teeth represents the opening of the Gubernacular canal. 14-Formation of the tooth eruption pathway is a localized, genetically programmed event that does not require pressure from the erupting tooth. 15-Root formation at first causing bone deposition to provide room for the growing root tip.
16-pre- eruptive phase begins after the tooth has reached its functional position in the occlusal plane and continues through the whole life of the tooth.
17-The occlusal wear is compensated by continued bone deposition around the apex of the tooth.18-The interproximal wear is compensated by a process known as mesial drift.
- 11 -
19- The vascular pressure theory supposes the existence of cushion- hammock ligament, running across the base of the socket to provide a fixed base for the growing root to react against.20-Periodontal ligament traction theory proposed that the cells and fibers of the periodontal ligament pull the tooth into occlusion.
21-Vascular pressure theory supposes that a local increase in tissue fluid pressure in the periapical region is sufficient to move the tooth. 22- The premature loss of a deciduous tooth occasionally leads to delayed eruption of its permanent successor.
23-Impaction is a fusion of cementum to alveolar bone due to cellular changes in the periodontal ligament caused by trauma and other pathologies.
24-The ankylosed tooth appears submerged in relation to adjacent teeth that continue to erupt.
25- The ankylosis most commonly affects mandibular primary central incisor. 26-Ankylosis can lead to increase loss of arch length.
27-Impaction is a cessation of eruption of a tooth. 28-The second premolars are particularly prone to impaction because they erupt last, when the least room is available. 29-The upper canine is impacted frequently because of its late eruption.
301-Ectopic eruption is eruption of a developing tooth beyond the range of the normal eruption date. 31- Eruption of the maxillary third molar in the maxillary sinus represents an eccentric eruption.
32- Eruption hematoma is a bluish, opaque asymptomatic swelling overlays an erupting tooth due to the accumulation of blood in the follicular sac around the eruption crown.

SHEDDING
1- The neural elements remain in the pulp until shedding is completed. 2- Remnants of deciduous teeth are most frequently found in the canine-premolar region.3- Shedding is the pathological elimination of the deciduous teeth.
4- The anterior deciduous teeth are often shed with much of their pulp chamber intact.
5- The permanent incisors and canines develop labial to the deciduous teeth and erupt in an occlusal and vestibular direction.
6- The resorption of the roots of the deciduous molars often begins early on their inner surface facing the inter-radicular septum.
7- The premolar tooth germs move apical to the deciduous molars to relieve the pressure on the roots of the overlying deciduous molars.
8-The resorption of permanent molars may proceed far up into the coronal dentin and occasionally some areas of the enamel may be destroyed.
9-The process of tooth resorption is continuous; there periods of resorption and periods of rest and repair.
10-The resorption of the hard dental tissues of deciduous teeth is achieved by highly specialized multinucleated cells called osteoclasts.
11-Odontoclasts are derived from blood circulating monocytes.
12-Odontoclasts are found on a shallow hollowed out depressions or bays called Howship's lacunae.
13-Odontoclast cells have been detected in the root canals and pulp chambers of resorbing deciduous incisors.
14-Odontoclasts are able to resorb all hard dental tissues including cementum, dentin and on occasions enamel.
- 14 -
15-The tooth sheds with some pulpal tissue intact except that neural elements seem to be missing.
16-the pulp plays an active role in the shedding process.
17-Loss of the periodontal ligament fibers is abrupt, and cell death in this region occurs without inflammation.
18-Shedding of teeth is programmed developmental event.
19-Pressure from the erupting permanent molars plays a role in the shedding of deciduous dentition.20-Retained deciduous teeth are most often the upper lateral incisor.
21-The most frequently remnants are found in the region of premolars because their roots are widely divergent.

ENAMEL
1- The ameloblasts having ruffled borders are protective ameloblasts.2-Maturative ameloblasts are characterized by having a distal cell membrane with many infoldings.3-Incremental lines are a result of variation in crystal orientation.4-Enamel tufts are seen in thick decalcified sections. 5- Organic components of enamel are primarily removed from enamel by secretoryameloblasts.6- The main difference between the rod and the interrod region is crystal orientation.7- The striae of Retzius would be seen as concentric rings in a horizontal section of the crown.8-The extensions from secretory ameloblast cells that give structure to enamel rods are called Tomes' fibers.9- Striae of Retzius are due to rhythmic apposition of enamel. 10- Enamel is formed of 96% organic materials and water& 4% minerals. 11- Cross striations in enamel result from abrupt change in environment before and after birth.12- The prism sheath results from abrupt change in crystals orientation.13- The complex arrangement of rods over the cusps of teeth is termed prismless enamel.14- Prismless enamel is less mineralized than prismatic enamel.15- The predominant organic portion of enamel is calcium.16-Developmental enamel lamellae are type B enamel lamellae.17-Enamel prism of the cusp tip passes in twisted course.18- The predominant organic portion of developing enamel is Enamelin. 19-The enamel lines fissures, grooves and pits.
20- After destruction of enamel by caries or injury, neither the body nor the dentist can restore the enamel tissue.
21-Enamel is extremely hard because of its high mineral content.22- The permeability is the property that enables enamel to withstand the mechanical forces applied during tooth functioning. 23-Enamel of permanent teeth is softer than that of deciduous teeth.
- 17 -
24-Enamel hardness is greatest at the surface and decreases gradually towards the dentino-enamel junction.25- The hardness is greater towards the cervical line and decreases at the cusp and incisal edges. 26- Dentin is less mineralized and less brittle and be necessary as a support for enamel.
27-Enamel has a certain degree of permeability. The main pathway is from outer layer of enamel to the saliva.
28-By volume, mature enamel is composed of 88-90 % inorganic material and 10-12 % organic material and water.
29- The mineral content decreases at the surface than at dentino-enamel junction.30-Enamel crystals are extremely long, relative to their thickness, and are highly oriented. 31-Fluoro-apatite is 20% more soluble than hydroxyapatite which means that it is
much less susceptible to demineralization.32- Because fluoride ions help killing cavity-causing bacteria. So, it used as topical
application of fluorides on the teeth to minimize caries.33- Spread of caries seems to be prevented or reduced by areas of enamel rich in
protein content.34- 90% of the developing enamel proteins are a heterogeneous group of low-
molecular weight hydrophobic proteins known as Enamelin. 35- In the mature enamel, enamelin predominates. 36- Stippled material secreted by secretory ameloblasts.37-Tomes' processes interdigitate with the surface of the forming enamel giving it a picket fence appearance. 38- Tomes' fibers determine the orientation of the newly formed enamel hydroxyapatite crystals and responsible for the rod structure of enamel.
39- Transitional stage is a brief reorganization stage between enamel secretion and maturation.40- During the transitional stage, the overall number of ameloblasts is reduced by as much as 50%.by programmed cell death (apoptosis).41- During maturative stage there is selective withdrawal of enamel proteins, mainly enamelin and water.42 - The maturative ameloblasts are either ruffled-ended (20 % of maturation ameloblasts) or smooth-ended (80 %). 43- Maturative ameloblast yielding three complete modulations per day.
- 18 -
44-In the ruffled-ended ameloblasts the distal junctions are leaky and the proximal are tight.45- The reduced dental epithelium protects the enamel from being in contact with connective tissue cells in the dental sac.46- The reduced dental epithelium and the oral epithelium are joined to form the dento-gingival junction of the erupting tooth.47- Human enamel forms at a rate of 10 microns per day.
48- Secretory ameloblasts release small isolated drops of unmineralized enamel proteins called stippled material.
49- Final prismatic enamel layer the crystals are arranged parallel to each other and perpendicular to the surface.
50- Tertiary maturation is characterized by gradual completion of mineralization to reach the 96 % of the total weight of enamel.51- During the maturation process, amelogenins and ameloblastins are removed leaving enamelins and tuftelin in the mature enamel. 52-Once tooth enamel is formed, the mineralization is never decreased by any physiologic process within the tooth.
53-Histological structure of enamel could be described in decalcified sections only. 54-Under the cusp tip and incisal ridges, the course of the rods is more complicated where they become twisted and braided together and it is called gnarled enamel.
55-Hunter-Schreger bands are an optical phenomenon, viewed by oblique reflected light under the low power of the microscope.
56- Hunter-Schreger bands are found in the outer two thirds of the enamel.
57- Cross striations appear as dark lines 2.5- 6 microns apart. They represent weekly increment of growth. 58- Brown striae of Retzius overlying the cusps do not reach the surface unless there is some enamel loss due to attrition. 59-The base for the formation of striae of Retzius is supposed to be as a result of daily rhythm in enamel production.60- Neonatal line mainly appears in deciduous teeth and permanent molars and may be associated with increased caries susceptibility.61-The quality of the prenatal enamel is better than that of the post natal enamel due to the more protected condition and constant nutrition.62-Enamel spindle results from some Tomes' processes during the early stages of enamel formation pushed themselves between the pre-ameloblasts.
- 19 -
63- Enamel spindles are most common beneath cusps where most crowding of odontoblasts would have occurred.
64-Enamel lamellae are always unmineralized. They are narrower, longer and less common than enamel tufts.
65- Developmental type A lamellae are hypo mineralized. They never extend to dentin .66- Non developmental lamellae or cracks occur before amelogenesis is completed.
67-Type B lamella is a crack occurs in the enamel before the tooth eruption due to a stimulus on the enamel surface causing its fracture.68-Type B lamella is a crack occurs in the enamel after the tooth eruption while it is functioning in the oral cavity.
69-Dentino-enamel junction is less curved on the lateral surfaces.
70-The convexities of the scallops of the DEJ are directed towards the enamel. 71- The outer prismless enamel is 20-100 microns of newly erupted deciduous teeth and 20-70 microns of newly erupted permanent teeth. 72-Rodless enamel may be lost rapidly by abrasion, attrition and erosion in erupted teeth.
73- Perikymata are numerous near the cusp region and nearly disappear at the cervical region. 74- Rod-end markings are deepest in the cervical region and shallowest near the occlusal and incisal surfaces.75- Afibrillar cementum occurs in 30 % of cases.76- Attrition is the physiological wearing away of the tooth hard substance as a result of tooth to tooth contact.77-The wear rate of enamel is nearly 8 micrometers a year from normal factors.

Dentinogenesis & Dentin Structures
1- Enamel is highly mineralized tissue that forms the bulk of the tooth.
2-Two major properties distinguish dentin from enamel: First, dentin is sensitive. Second, dentin is formed throughout life.
3-Dentin is slightly harder than bone and is less hard than cementum. 4-On radiographs, dentin appears more radioopaque than enamel and more radio-lucent (lighter) than pulp. 5-Mature dentin couldn't be seen either in ground or decalcified sections. 6- The collagen of dentin comprises over 90% of the organic matrix. The principle collagen fibril is type II collagen.7-The odontoblasts are highly specialized connective tissue cells that differentiate from the peripheral cellular layer of the dental papilla.8-Secretory odontoblasts exhibit alkaline-phosphatase and Ca-ATPase activity along their plasma membranes. 9- The resting odontoblast doesn't produce dentin. 10-In resting odontoblasts, there are increase in number and size of lysosomes and
phagosomes.
11- In Mantle dentin, ground substance is incorporated with some pre-existing ground substance of the cell free zone.12- ''Mantle dentin'' varying in width from 200-300 µm. The large collagen fibrils
(0.1-0.2 mm in diameter) aggregate in the cell free zone. 13- The collagen fibrils of mantle dentin are aligned at right angles to the basal
lamina,while in the mantle dentin of the root they are parallel to it. 14- The circumpulpal dentin is the basic structure of dentin and forms its bulk. 15- The collagen fibers of circumpulpal dentin are smaller in diameter (0.05Mm) and
are more closely packed and interwoven with each other.16- The fibers of circumpulpal dentin are present parallel or oblique angles to the
tubules.
17- Odontoblastic transduction theory contends that a dental stimulus excites the odontoblastic process which then transmits the excitation to the adjacent nerve plexus.

18-The matrix vesicles are rich in calcium and phosphate ions but not contain alkaline phosphatase enzyme.
19-The sclerosis slows down an advancing carious process, so it may help to prolong pulp vitality.
20- The function of matrix vesicles is to provide a special micro-environment in which the first hydroxyappatite crystals can form.
21-the presence of matrix vesicles is limited to mantle and circumpulpal dentin. 22-Linear calcification founds in secondary dentin.23-Globular calcification (calcospherite) usually presents in circumpulpal dentin formed just below mantle dentin.24-In the rest of the circumpulpal dentin, a combined pattern of calcification occurs with a globular phase alternating with a linear phase. 25-The concavity of the primary curvatures of dentinal tubules nearest the pulp chamber faces root ward.26-The "secondary curvatures" result from the spiral track taken by the odontoblast during its course from the outer dentin surface to the pulp.27-Each dead tract is surrounded and isolated by a narrow zone of reparative dentin.
28-Dentin located between the dentinal tubules is called "intra-tubular dentin".
29- Intratubular dentin contains little amount of collagen. It is about 40% more mineralized than intertubular dentin.
30- External stimulus accelerates inter-tubular dentin formation that eventually may obliterate the tubules spaces.
31- Peritubular dentin will be seen as translucent rings in ground sections.
32-Inter-globular dentin is the area of hypomineralized dentin where globular zones of mineralization have failed to fuse within mature dentin.
33-Inter-globular dentin is seen most frequently in the mantle dentin. 34-In the inter-globular dentin, the tubules run uninterrupted through the interglobular areas.
35- Tomes' granular layer is a transient feature of the root dentin immediately
adjacent to cementum.
36- Tomes' granular layer do not follow any incremental pattern and usually smaller
than interglobular dentin.
37-The dentinal tubules do not cross through Tomes' granular layer.
- 23 -
38- Incremental lines of Von-Ebner run parallel to the dentinal tubules.
39- Contour line of Owen may results from a coincidence of the secondary curvatures between neighboring dentinal tubules.
40- Neonatal line could be seen in all deciduous teeth as well as in the mesio lingual cusp of the first permanent molar.
41-Regular secondary dentin develops by odontoblasts before root formation is completed.
42-Irregular secondary dentin (Reparative dentin) is produced only by those cells directly affected by the stimulus.
43- The dentin with no tubules at all named "atubular dentin". While the dentin with trapped forming cells named "vasodentin".
44- Sclerotic dentin is characterized by calcification of dentinal tubules, where the odontoblastic processes undergo fatty degeneration and then calcification.
45-In transparent dentin, the most likely source of the calcium salts is the fluid of "dental lymph" within the tubules.
46- Sclerotic dentin appears translucent when viewed by transmitted light while with reflected light these areas appear white.47-Dentin areas characterized by degenerated odontoblastic processes have been called "dead tracts".
48-Dead tracts may be caused in some teeth by the death of odontoblasts crowded in narrow pulpal horns.
49- Fluid or hydrodynamic theory proposes that dentin contains nerve endings, which respond when dentin is stimulated.

Cementum Structure and Cementogenesis
1-Cementogenesis comprises both matrix formation and mineralization.2- The inner dental epithelium will induce the neighboring cells of the dental papilla to differentiate into ameloblasts. 3-When the epithelial root sheath of Hertwig will loss its continuity, its cells become the epithelial rests of Serres. 4- The cells entrapped in the mineralized cementum are referred to as cementoblasts and occupy lacunae.
5-cellular cementum has the same mineral content than acellular cementum.
6-The Sharpey's fibers of cellular cementum generally retain an unmineralized core. 7-The Sharpey's fibers in cellular cementum exhibit a more complete degree of mineralization.
8-Sharpey's fibers are derived from periodontal fibers, which are not classifiable in their original location.
9- The mineral content of cementum once formed changes significantly with age. While that of the root dentin shows no change in mineral content with age.
10-Acellular afibrillar cementum covers minor areas of the enamel, particularly at the cementoenamel junction.
11- Cementum hyperplasia is characterized by the presence of Sharpey’s fibers. 12- Acellular afibrillar cementum consists of a mineralized matrix, which contains neither collagen fibrils nor embedded cells.
13- Acellular afibrillar cementum plays an important role in tooth attachment.
14-acellular extrinsic fiber cementum has significant function in tooth anchorage to the surrounding bone through numerous Sharpey’s fibers inserting into it.15- The furcations of human teeth are covered with thick cementum layers before
they emerge into the oral cavity.16- Impacted and erupted teeth without antagonists appear to have thinner cementum
layers than fully erupted and functioning teeth.17- Over-compression of the periodontal ligament causes root resorption.
18-An increase of cementum in a non-functioning tooth or in an embedded tooth, this is called cementum hypertrophy.
- 26 -
19- Cementum is unique in that it is avascular, does not undergo continuous remodeling like enamel, but continues to grow in thickness throughout life.
37-More cementum is formed apically and in the furcations areas of multi-rooted teeth than cervically.
21-Cementum has been shown to be impermeable from both the dentin and the periodontal ligament side.
22-Cementum contains 45% to 50% inorganic substances and 55% to 50% organic materials.
23-Under the light microscope two types of cementum can be differentiated: the acellular and the cellular cementum.
24-The cementum is usually covered by a zone of cementoid tissue 3-4 microns wide in acellular cementum and is thinner in cellular cementum.
25- Over compression of the periodontal ligament can result in the physiologic resorption of cementum and dentin.
26-Increase in the thickness of cementum does not enhance the strength of attachment of the individual fibers.
27-cementocytes cells have processes directed toward the pulp to provide nutrition for the cementum.
28-cementocytes present in the superficial layers show definite signs of degeneration such as cytoplasmic clumping and vesiculation.
29- The number of cells that become incorporated in cementum is proportional to the rate of cementum deposition.
30-Incremental Lines of Salter are highly mineralized areas with less collagen and more ground substance.31-The incremental lines are roughly parallel to the long axis of the root.32- The cellular cementum is formed at a faster rate than the acellular cementum and so, the incremental lines are closer in acellular cementum.33- In 60% of all teeth, cementum meets the cervical end of enamel in a relatively
sharp line.34-In about 60% of the teeth cementum overlaps the cervical end of enamel for a short distance. 35- Cementum is markedly thicker on the mesial than on the distal root surface, indicating a relationship to mesial drift.
- 27 -
38-Hypercementosis is an abnormal thickening of cementum.
39-cementum hypertrophy is increase of cementum in good function teeth to permit more periodontal fibers to be attached to the tooth.

Periodontal ligament
1- The width of PDL ranges from 1.05-1.69 mm.
2- The PDL is formed from dental sac shortly after root development begins.3- The connective tissue fibers are mainly collagenous. The main types of collagen in the PDL are types I and III. More than 70 % of the periodontal collagen is type I.
4- The intercellular spaces of the PDL contain fibers and cells.
5- The oblique group running from the cementum in an oblique direction to be inserted into the bone apically.
6- Synthetic cells include: fibroblasts, odontoblasts and cementoblasts only. 7- Periodontal nerve fibers are myelinated and unmylenated.
8- In PDL there are two types of nerve endings.
9- The PDL through aging shows decreases in vascularity.
10- mechanoreceptors are responsible for localization of pain on the teeth.

Bone structure
1- The cytoplasm of the osteoblasts is rich in vesicular structures.
2- Type II and type III collagen are the principal collagen in the mineralized bone.
3- Incremental lines are hypermineralized.
4- All the bones of the body are covered externally by a membrane of specialized dense connective tissue called periosteum.
5- The periosteum consists of three layers: The outer layer known as vascular layer, The inner layer known as osteogenic and the intermediate layer known as cambium layer.
6- Bundle bone is generally described as containing more intrinsic collagen fibrils than lamellar bone and exhibiting a fine fibered texture.
7- Radiographically, bundle bone appears more radioluscent than lamellated bone.

THE TEMPROMANDIBULAR JOINT
1- The Temporomandibular joint is a unilateral fibrous articulation between the mandible and the temporal bone.
2- The development of the joint starts at 3 W.I. U.
3- Meckel's cartilage provides the skeletal support for the development of the lower jaw and extents from the midline upward and ventrally, where it terminates incus & malleus cartilages.
4- The articular surface of the condyle is strongly concave in the antroposterior direction and slightly convex postero-laterally.
5- Only the articular eminence forms the cranial articulation of the TMJ.
6- The fossa is extremely concave while the articular eminence is convex.
7- In general, the tempromandibular ligament restricts displacement of the mandible in different planes except backward with the head of the condyle slipping in front of the eminence.
8- The fibers of inner layer of the eminence are at right angle to the bony surface, while fibers of outer layer are oblique to the surface.
