Stages of tooth development

Proliferation at 10 specific locations of dental lamina in each arch gives rise to 10 knob like small swellings that project into the ectomesenchyme, each refers to as a bud. These buds along with underlying ectomesenchyme form the tooth germ of 10 different deciduous teeth in each dental arch.

The tooth germ is an aggregate of different types of cells, derived from the ectoderm of the first branchial arch and the ectomesenchyme containing the neural crest cel…
