  2. Dentigerous cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentigerous_cyst

    The treatment of choice for dentigerous cyst is enucleation along with extraction of the impacted teeth. [21] If eruption of the unerupted tooth is considered feasible, the tooth may be left in place after partial removal of the cyst wall. Orthodontic treatment may subsequently be required to assist eruption.

  3. Dental follicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_follicle

    The formative role of the dental follicle starts when the crown of the tooth is fully developed and just before tooth eruption into the oral cavity. [2]Although tooth eruption mechanisms have yet to be understood entirely, generally it can be agreed that many factors, together, affect the tooth eruption process which is why it is very difficult to differentiate the causes and effects. [3]

  4. Human tooth development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth_development

    B: dental papilla C: dental follicle. The tooth germ is an aggregation of cells that eventually forms a tooth. [2] These cells are derived from the ectoderm of the first pharyngeal arch and the ectomesenchyme of the neural crest. [1] [3] [4] The tooth germ is organized into three parts: the enamel organ, the dental papilla and the dental sac or ...

  5. Epithelial root sheath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelial_root_sheath

    The Hertwig epithelial root sheath (HERS) or epithelial root sheath is a proliferation of epithelial cells located at the cervical loop of the enamel organ in a developing tooth. Hertwig epithelial root sheath initiates the formation of dentin in the root of a tooth by causing the differentiation of odontoblasts from the dental papilla.

  6. Tooth eruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_eruption

    Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is a rare disease in which tooth eruption does not occur despite space in the arch for eruption. Non-eruption of non-ankylosed teeth occurs due to an eruption mechanism that has failed leading to a posterior unilateral/bilateral open bite. [28] Infra occlusion is the primary hallmark of PFE.

  7. Cysts of the jaws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysts_of_the_jaws

    Eruption cyst; a small cyst in the gingiva as a tooth erupts, forming from the degenerating dental follicle; Primordial cyst; previous thought to be a unique entity. Most primordial cysts have proven to be Keratocystic odontogenic tumors; Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst; a variant of the Keratocystic odontogenic tumor

  8. Epithelial cell rests of Malassez - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelial_cell_rests_of...

    (1) The HERS, (2) epithelial rests of Malassez, (3) dental follicle, (4) cementoblasts, (5) periodontal ligament, (6) alveolar cells, (7) bone, (8) odontoblasts. In dentistry, the epithelial cell rests of Malassez (ERM) or epithelial rests of Malassez (pax epithelialis pediodontii) are part of the periodontal ligament cells around a tooth.

  9. Dental papilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_papilla

    The dental follicle is a fibrous sac that surrounds the odontogenic organ and developing tooth. [11] The plexus is a system of connections of blood vessels, nerves, or lymphatic vessels . The plexus of Raschkow is a network of nerves immediately beneath the odontoblast layer of the dentine, first described by J. Raschkow in 1835.
