• Name the numbered structures and mention their
function?

1. Deciduous tooth bud- gives rise to deciduous tooth

2. Dental lamina- Gives rise to primordium of

ectodermal portion of teeth

depicted in the picture
• Cap stage of tooth development
2. Name the layers present in enamel organ this stage?
Inner enamel epithelium
Stellate reticulum
Outer enamel epithelium
3. Mention the functions of central cells
Functions of Stellate reticulum- 1. Mechanical
support, 2. Nutrition

structures indicated
with arrows
2. Name three different
structures come
under this category
3. Mention one
contribution of these
structures in tooth
development?
 Answers
1. What are the structures indicated with arrows
Transitory structures of enamel organ
2. Name three different structures come under this
category
Enamel knot, enamel cord, enamel septum
3. Mention one contribution of these structures in
tooth development?
Act as reservoir of extra cells and later
contributing them to the growing enamel organ.

morphologic stage of
tooth development
depicted in the
picture

2. Mention four events

take place in this
stage
 Answers
1. Identify the morphologic stage of tooth
development depicted in the picture
Late/ advanced bell stage
2. Mention four events take place in this stage
• Dentin deposition starts, followed by enamel.
• Outer enamel epithelium becomes irregular by
developing infoldings.
• Stellate reticulum collapses.
• Source of nutrition to ameloblasts changes from
dental papilla to dental sac
