“What is the stellate reticulum? A detailed question and answers guide”

Question 1. Development of root.
Answer:

Development of root

• The development of the roots begins after enamel and dentin formation has reached the future cementoenamel junction.
• The radicular dental papilla cells differentiate under the influence of HERS cells into odontoblasts which lay down the first layer of dentin.
• The epithelium is moved away from the surface of the dentin allowing connective tissue cells of the dental sac to come into contact with the outer surface of the dentin which then differentiates into cementoblasts and deposits a layer of cementum.
• The epithelial root sheath loses its structural continuity and disintegrates.
• Differential growth of the epithelial diaphragm in multirooted teeth causes tire division of the root trunk into two or three roots.

Question 2. Stellate reticulum.
Answer:

Stellate reticulum

• It is located between the outer and inner enamel epithelium.
• It consists of star-shaped cells with a long cytoplasmic process.
• This gives the stellate reticulum a cushion-like consistency and acts as a shock absorber that may support and protect tire delicate enamel-forming cells.

“Factors influencing success with stellate reticulum studies: Q&A”

• Desmosomal junctions are observed between cells of the stellate reticulum, stratum intermedium and outer enamel epithelium.
• Before enamel formation begins, the tire stellate reticulum collapses, reducing the distance between the centrally situated ameloblasts and tire nutrient capillaries near the tire outer enamel epithelium.
