From which structure do all primary teeth and permanent molars arise?

  1. Dental pulp

  2. Dental lamina

  3. Alveolar bone

  4. Periodontal ligament

The correct answer is: Dental lamina

All primary teeth and permanent molars arise from the dental lamina. The dental lamina is a band of epithelial tissue that is crucial for the development of the teeth. It gives rise to the dental buds, which then develop into the primary teeth and later the permanent molars. The dental pulp, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament are important structures in the tooth, but they do not give rise to all primary teeth and permanent molars.
