چکیده

Considering tooth crown engineering, three main parameters have to be taken into account: (1) the relationship between crown morphology and tooth functionality, (2) the growth of the organ, which is hardly compatible with the use of preformed scaffolds, and (3) the need for easily available nondental competent cell sources. In vitro reassociation experiments using either dental tissues or bone marrow-derived cells (BMDC) have been designed to get information about the mechanisms to be preserved in order to allow crown engineering. As the primary enamel knot (PEK) is involved in signaling crown morphogenesis, the formation and fate of this structure was investigated (1) in heterotopic reassociations between embryonic day 14 (ED14) incisor and molar enamel organs and mesenchymes, and (2) in reassociations between ED14 molar enamel organs and BMDC. A PEK formed in cultured heterotopic dental tissue reassociations. The mesenchyme controls the fate of the EK cells, incisor or molar-specific using apoptosis as criterion, and functionality to drive single/multiple cusps tooth development. Although previous investigations showed that they might differentiate as odontoblast- or ameloblast-like cells, BMDC reassociated to an enamel organ could not support the development of multicusp teeth. These cells apparently could neither maintain nor stimulate the formation of a PEK.

Induction of human keratinocytes into enamel-secreting ameloblasts.

Mammalian tooth development relies heavily on the reciprocal and sequential interactions between cranial neural crest-derived mesenchymal cells and stomadial epithelium. During mouse tooth development, odontogenic potential, that is, the capability to direct an adjacent tissue to form a tooth, resides in dental epithelium initially, and shifts subsequently to dental mesenchyme. Recent studies h...

روش های افزایش طول تاج کلینیکی ( Crown lengthening procedures)

Nowadays, due to recent developments and researches in dental science, it is possible to preserve and restore previously extracted cases such as teeth with extensive caries, fractured or less appropriate cases for crown coverage as well as teeth with external perforation caused by restorative pins. In order to restore the teeth with preservation of periodontium, we should know thoroughly physio...

Enamel Tissue Engineering

Dental scientists are eagerly embracing regenerative medicine using tissue engineering technology. Enamel, one component of teeth, is the hardest tissue in the body. It cannot regenerate by itself, because it is formed by a layer of ameloblasts that is lost by the time the tooth crown has completely formed. Although the enamel is spent during lifetime, it is vulnerable to wear, damage, and deca...

Operative Dentistry and Biomaterials for Tooth Regenration

Tissue-engineered biomaterials have existed approximately 40 years as simple biomimetic structures. Replacement of human tissue with new tissue can be accomplished by generating replacements outside of the body or in situ in the body. In each case, the key elements are described as the tissue engineering triad of scaffolds, cells, and signals. Scaffolds can be produced synthetically or derived ...

Variation in crown and root formation and eruption of human deciduous teeth.

The aim of this study was to document variation of deciduous tooth formation and eruption. The material comprises 121 individuals of known or estimated age (using tooth length) from Spitalfields in London, and radiographs of 61 healthy living children aged 2-5 years. Other skeletal material from two medieval Scottish archaeological sites (Whithorn, N=74; Newark Bay, N=59) was also examined. Sta...
