A branch of dental science which deals with the guidance of primary and permanent dentition during growth and development as well as prevention and treatment of any pathological condition occurs during childhood. AAPD: It is a specialty that provides primary and comprehensive oral health care for infants and children through adolescence including those with special health care needs. Dr. AHMAD ABDEL HAMID ELHEENY Page 3 of 8 LIFE CYCLE OF THE TOOTH 1. Initiation (bud stage) Cells in the basal layer of the oral epithelium proliferate at a more rapid rate than do the adjacent cells. The result is an epithelial thickening in the region of the future dental arch that extends along the entire free margin of the jaws. This thickening is called the primordium of the ectodermal portion of the teeth and what results is called the dental lamina. At the same time, 10 round or ovoid swellings occur in each jaw in the position to be occupied by the primary teeth. The permanent molars, like the primary teeth, arise from the dental lamina. The permanent incisors, canines, and premolars develop from the buds of their primary predecessors. 2. Proliferation (cap stage) Proliferation of the cells continues during the cap stage. As a result of unequal growth in the different parts of the bud, a cap is formed. A shallow invagination appears on the deep surface of the bud. The peripheral cells of the cap later form the outer and inner enamel epithelium. 3. Histodifferentiation and Morphodifferentiation (bell stage) The epithelium continues to invaginate and deepen until the enamel organ takes on the shape of a bell. It is during this stage that there is a differentiation of the cells of the dental papilla into odontoblasts and of the cells of the inner enamel epithelium into ameloblasts. In the morphodifferentiation stage the formative cells are arranged to outline the form and size of the tooth. This process occurs before matrix deposition. The morphologic pattern of the tooth becomes established when the inner enamel epithelium is arranged so that the boundary between it and the odontoblasts outlines the future DEJ. 4. Apposition Appositional growth is the result of a layer like deposition of a nonvital extracellular secretion in the form of a tissue matrix. 5. Calcification Calcification (mineralization) takes place following matrix deposition and involves the precipitation of inorganic calcium salts within the deposited matrix. Dr. AHMAD ABDEL HAMID ELHEENY Page 4 of 8 PROBLEMS MAY ASSOCIATED WITH TOOTH DEVELOPMENT TEETH ERUPTION I. Eruption Phases 1. Pre-eruptive phase: All movements of primary and permanent tooth germs (crowns) from time of their early initiation and formation to the time of crown completion (ends with early initiation of root formation). 2. Eruptive phase: Starts with initiation of root formation and made by teeth to move from its position within bone of the jaw to its functional position in occlusion. Have intraosseous and extraosseous compartments. 4 stages: root formation, movement, penetration and occlusal contact. 3. Post-eruptive phase: Takes place after the teeth are functioning to maintain the position of the erupted tooth in occlusion while the jaws are continuing to grow and compensate for occlusal and proximal tooth wear. II. Problems Associated with Teeth Eruption 1. Teething Clinical features . In most children the eruption of primary teeth is preceded by increased salivation, and the child will want to put the hand and fingers into the mouth. These observations may be the only indication that the teeth will soon erupt. Some young children become restless sleeplessness and fretful during the time of eruption of the primary teeth. Redness and swelling of gingiva over erupting tooth . Crying Dr. AHMAD ABDEL HAMID ELHEENY Page 5 of 8 Management . Non-pharmacological strategies: . Pharmacological strategies: Topical and/or systemic medications 2. Natal and Neonatal Teeth . Teeth most often affected are mandibular primary incisors. In most cases, anterior natal and neonatal teeth are part of the normal complement of the dentition. If the tooth is not excessively mobile or causing feeding problems, it should be preserved and maintained in a healthy condition if possible. Close monitoring is indicated to ensure that the tooth remains stable. 3. Ankylosis Prevalence . Lower primary molars (7-14%) and 50% of cases have more than one ankylosed tooth . Ankylosis is a condition in which the cementum of a tooth’s root fuses directly to the surrounding bone. The periodontal ligament is replaced with osseous tissue, rendering the tooth immobile to eruptive change Etiology . Unknown but may be due to: . Familial pattern and genetic background. 2ry to trauma, infection, crowding & agenesis of perm. Successor. Associated with syndromes as ED, CCD & Down’s syndrome.

Sever Treatment Factors affecting the treatment 1. Presence or absence of permanent successor 2. Severity of 3. Age of onset 4. Rate of progression 5. Tipping of adjacent teeth 5. ECTOPIC ERUPTION (EE) Of Upper First Permanent Molar . It occurs due to the molar’s abnormal mesioangular eruption path, resulting in an impaction at the distal prominence of the primary second molar’s crown EE of permanent molars is classified into two types; those that self-correct and others that remain impacted. 66% of EE permanent molars self-corrected by age seven . A permanent molar that presents with part of its occlusal surface clinically visible and part under the distal of the primary second molar usually does not self-correct and is the impacted type . After the age of seven, definitive treatment is indicated to manage and/or avoid early loss of the second primary molar and space loss. 6. Lingual Eruption of Mandibular Permanent Incisors . It is common for mandibular permanent incisors to erupt lingually, and this pattern should be considered essentially normal. Spontaneous correction of lingually erupted permanent incisors is likely to occur given enough time, particularly in cases in which there is not severe crowding. The parents' feelings should not be ignored in the decision; even a 95% chance that

Delaney, DDS, MSD, and Martha Ann Keels, DDS, PhD Parents often are concerned with “lumps and bumps” that appear in the mouths of children. Pediatricians should be able to distinguish the normal clinical appearance of the intraoral tissues in children from gingivitis, periodontal abnormalities, and oral lesions. Recognizing early primary tooth mobility or early primary tooth loss is critical because these dental findings may be indicative of a severe underlying medical illness. Diagnostic criteria and .treatment recommendations are reviewed for many commonly encountered oral conditions. INTRAORAL SOFT-TISSUE ABNORMALITIES Congenital Lesions Ankyloglossia Ankyloglossia, or “tongue-tied,” is a common congenital condition characterized by an abnormally short lingual frenum and the inability to extend the tongue. The frenum may lengthen with growth to produce normal function. If the extent of the ankyloglossia is severe, speech may be affected, mandating speech therapy or surgical correction. If a child is able to extend his or her tongue sufficiently far to moisten the lower lip, then a frenectomy usually is not indicated (Fig. 1).

    International symposium of Maxillofacial & Oral Regenerative Biology in Okayama 2005 Cell dynamics in the Growth and Differentiation of Dental Epithelium during Tooth Development: Stratum Intermedium Cells Originated From Inner Enamel Epithelium Hidemitsu Harada Department of Oral Anatomy & Developmental Biology, Osaka University Graduate School of Dentistry 1-8, Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan Abstract:The stratum intermedium develops as flattened cell layer on the proximal side of the ameloblast layer during the bell stage of tooth development. Stratum intermedium cells strongly express alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and have been considered to play a complementary role in the enamel mineralization, however the origin and/or the role of these cells have not been elucidated. In the present study, we focused on the lineage of stratum intermedium cells in continuously growing rodent incisors and analyzed it by using DiI tracers experiment and using the incisors organ culture. The results indicated that some stratum intermedium cells were originated from the inner enamel epithelium. Immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization studies showed that the stratum intermedium cells expressed the Notch-1, Notch-2, and Hes1, while the inner enamel epithelium and ameloblasts expressed their ligands Jagged-1. Furthermore, we examined th role of Notch signaling in the development of the stratum intermedium cells by use of the dental epithelial cell line, HAT-7. Recombinant Jagged1 protein enhanced the appearance of the stratum intermedium cells in HAT-7.On the other hand, anti-sense Notch1 decreased the number of stratum intermedium cells.Taken together, we propose a hypothesis that the lineage of the stratum intermedium differentiates from the ameloblasts lineage through Notch signaling.

  • AMELOGENSIS Mean the Process of Production & Development (Mineralization) of Enamel, and Begins When the Crown Is Forming During the Bell Stage of Tooth Development
    Lec. 6 Dr. Ali H. Murad AMELOGENSIS Mean the process of production & development (mineralization) of enamel, and begins when the crown is forming during the bell stage of tooth development. A- Life cycle of the ameloblast: The life span of the cells of the inner enamel epithelium can be divided into six stages. 1-morphogenic stage: the inner enamel epithelium interacts with the adjacent mesenchymal cells of dental papillae, determining the shape of the dentinioenamel junction & the crown. During this morphogenic stage the cells are short columnar, with large oval nuclei. Terminal bars appear represent points of close contact between cells. The inner enamel epithelium is separated from the C.T of dental papillae by basal lamina. 2-organizing stage: the inner enamel epithelium cells become longer & come into close contact with C.T. cells of the pulp which differentiate into odontoblasts. The 1st appearance of dentin is a critical phase in the life cycle of the inner enamel epithelium as it’s in contact with the C.T. of dental papillae; it receives nutrient material from the blood vessels of this tissue. When dentin forms, it cuts off the ameloblasts from their original source of nourishment, then they are supplied by the capillaries that surround & penetrate the outer enamel epithelium. 3-formative stage: the ameloblasts enter their formative stage after the 1st layer of dentin has been formed. During formation of the enamel matrix the ameloblasts retain the same length & arrangement. The earliest change is the development of cell process on the ameloblast surface, which penetrate the predentin & known as Tome’s processes.
