5. Eruption
Definition
It is the axial or occlusal movement
of teeth
From its developmental position
within the jaw bone to its functional
position in occlusion.
8. I. Pre- Eruptive phase
Eruption
Phases of Eruption
Early bell stage Beginning of root formation
Tooth bony crypt
9. I. Pre- Eruptive phase “ pattern”
A. Deciduous teeth
Eruption
Phases of Eruption
Teeth germs are small & have good space
in the jaw bones
Grow rapidly & become
crowded.

A. Deciduous teeth
Eruption
Phases of Eruption
Bone
In length
In width
In height
Teeth
Anterior……. Forward “mesial”
Posterior ….. Backward “ distal”
Both….. Vestibular “ outward” &
occlusal “ upward or backward”

17. Eruption
Phases of Eruption
II. Eruptive phase “Pre- Functional phase”
A. Root formation
Dentine & Cementum formation.
Bone resorption of the crypt floor
Bone deposition on the crypt walls
Organization of PL fibers.
18. Eruption
Phases of Eruption
II. Eruptive phase “Pre- Functional phase”
B. PL fibers
Fibroblasts
• Produce and ingest collagen
• Adhere to each other
• Adhere to the extracellular matrix “ fibronexus”
Intermediate plexus
• Permits remodeling of the PL fibers at the middle area without
the need of fibers to re-embed themselves in cementum and
bone.
• Only present in rodents and not in humans.
19. Eruption
Phases of Eruption
II. Eruptive phase “Pre- Functional phase”
C. Alveolar ridge.
Deposition of bone trabeculae parallel to the fundus of the
socket to aid in tooth eruption
21. Eruption
Phases of Eruption
II. Eruptive phase “Pre- Functional phase”
E. Gubernacular cord & Gubernacular canal
Gubernacular cord is a strand of fibrous tissue “CT” containing
remnants of the dental lamina.
Gubernacular canal widened by osteoclast to guide permeant teeth
to erupt.
23. Eruption
Phases of Eruption
III. Post- Eruptive phase
It begins after the tooth has reached its in the
occlusal plane, continues through the whole life of
the tooth
Purpose
Accommodate growth
Compensate occlusal or proximal wear.
25. Eruption
Mechanism of Eruption
Theories or mechanisms of tooth eruption
I. Bone remodeling
II. Dental follicle
III. Root formation
IV. Vascular pressure
V. PL traction
26. I. Bone remodeling
Selective bone resorption and deposition causes tooth eruption
Eruption
Mechanism of Eruption
But
1st & 3rd molars showing a continuous bone resorption in the fundus
floor.
2nd molar, 2nd premolars showed bony deposition in the fundus floor
27. II. Dental follicle
provides the source for new bone-forming cells and the
conduit for osteoclasts derived from monocytes through
its vascular supply.
lack of factors that stimulates differentiation of
osteoclasts, eruption is prevented because no mechanism
for bone removal exists.
Local administration of this factor permits the
differentiation of osteoclasts, and eruption occurs.
Eruption
Mechanism of Eruption
28. II. Dental follicle
Removal of developing premolar without disturbing the DF, or if
eruption is prevented by wiring the tooth germ down to the lower
border of the mandible, an eruptive pathway still forms within the
bone as osteoclasts widen the gubernacular canal.
If the DF is removed, however, no eruptive pathway forms.
Furthermore, if a metal or silicone replica replaces the tooth germ,
and so long as the DF is retained, the replica will erupt, with the
formation of an eruptive pathway.
Eruption
Mechanism of Eruption
29. III. Root formation
Force exerted on bone lead to resorption
Cushion hammock ligament
o Straddling the base of the socket from one bony wall to the
other like a sling.
o Its function was to provide a fixed base.
But
o The structure described as the cushion hammock ligament is
the pulp lineating membrane that runs across the apex of the
tooth and has no bony insertion.
o It cannot act as a fixed base.
Eruption
Mechanism of Eruption
30. III. Root formation
Some teeth move a distance greater than the length of their roots as
upper canine.
Eruption of Rootless teeth.
When the ERSH is surgically removed the tooth erupt.
Eruption
Mechanism of Eruption
31. IV. Vascular pressure “Hydrostatic pressure”
Based on the fact that dental papilla is highly vascular
Fenestrated capillaries, increases with the eruption rate; more numbers
of fenestrated capillaries are seen near the base of the crypt than at the
alveolar crest
Ground substance can swell by up to 50% with the addition of water
which add more pressure
Vasoconstrictor decreases in eruption rate
This theory is not recommended now as in the absence of blood vessels (in
periapical region) also, tooth eruption occurs
Eruption
Mechanism of Eruption
32. V. PL traction
• Fibroblasts have contractile forces.
• Fibroblasts transmit forces to the collagen bundles
through fibro-nexuses.
• These collagen bundles apart from undergoing
remodeling are also inclined at the correct angle to
bring about eruptive movement.
