Clinical definition of eruption
The cutting of newly formed tooth through the gums into the oral cavity

Only applies to primary teeth and non-succadaneous adult molars

Succedaneous teeth don't cut through gingiva because the primary has already created a path
General definition of eruption
The occlusal movement of a tooth from it's developmental position in the jaw to its functional position in occlusion
Pre-eruptive movements
movements of the tooth bud within its crypts prior to root formation and eruption

Involve repositioning the alveolus via resorption and deposition

This allows the tooth buds to drift in several directions to compensate for crowding of the tooth buds and to compensate for the developing maxilla and mandible
Mesial drift
Pre-eruptive movement that compensates for the significant amount of anterior growth in length of the jaws
Distal drift
Pre-eruptive movement that compensates for the somewhat less amount of posterior growth in length of the jaws
Occlusal drift
Pre-eruptive movement of the tooth buds to compensate for the growth in height of the jaws
Buccal drift
Pre-eruptive movement of the tooth buds to compensate for the growth in thickness of the jaws
When does the pre-eruptive movement of the secondary succedaneous tooth bud occur?
It occurs during the active eruption phase of its primary tooth
Eruption of anterior single-rooted succedaneous teeth
Secondary bud is initially positioned within the same crypt as actively erupting Primary tooth

As primary begins to form roots and erupt, the secondary bud migrates downward and labially

Secondary settles underneath and slightly lingual to primary tooth

Bone grows to partially separate the two into their own crypts

The secondary dental lamina becomes the fibrous Gubernacular cord which resides in the Gubernacular canal.

They function to guide eruption of the secondary tooth through the path of least resistance in bone
Gubernacular Cord & Canal
Function to guide eruption of the secondary tooth through the path of least resistance in bone
Where do secondary anterior tooth buds settle after pre-eruptive movements?
Underneath and slightly lingual to the primary tooth
Eruption of posterior multi-rooted succedaneous teeth
Same as anterior but secondary tooth bud settles underneath and between the roots of the primary tooth

Because secondary crown is wider than the primary roots there is some initial resorption of the primary lingual root
Where do secondary posterior multi-rooted tooth buds settle after pre-eruptive movements?
Underneath and between the roots of the primary tooth
Eruption of non-succedaneous secondary molars
Secondary molars come from lateral lamina not successional anlaga

Maxillary teeth start out with occlusal surfaces facing distally.
Mandibular teeth start out with occlusal surfaces facing mesially.
As maxilla and mandible grows, the molars rotate 90* into proper alignment
If maxillary 3rd molars get impacted?
They are easy to remove because the maxilla bone is spongy with lots of blood vessels and heals quickly
If mandibular 3rd molars get impacted?
Removal is very difficult because the mandibular bone is so dense
Active Eruption
The occlusal migration of the tooth into occlusion beginning at the first onset of root formation

Must involve development of all the components of the periodontium (root, PDL, alveolar bone), all at the same time
What does active eruption begin?
At the first onset of root formation
Post-eruption Movements
Movements of the functional tooth after it has already come into occlusal position

Compensates for growth of the jaw throughout life

Maintains proper occlusion as the teeth experience occlusal and interproximal wear
Total bodily movements
Pre-eruptive and post-eruptive movements

Occur by re-shaping the alveolus via resorption and deposition
Eccentric growth
Movements of active eruption

Occur by changes in the tooth itself as one part of the tooth stays stationary

90% of the time the root remains stationary as the crown moves up into the oral cavity
Remaining 10% of the time the crown remains stationary as the root tip moves down into alveolar bone
Nasmyth's Membrane
Like a glue that attaches the REE to the enamel surface via hemidesmosomes as soon as the crown is down forming
Phase I of active eruption
1. Pressure of erupting tooth's cusp on soft tissue is what accounts for teething pain

2. dental follicle releases cytokines which causes Reduced Enamel Epi (REE) to secrete proteases/collagenases to digest the overlying soft tissue to relieve pressure

3. dental follicle releases Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) to induce cellular proliferation of REE and oral epi

4. REE and oral epi meet with each other and basement membranes fuse to form Epithelial Cuff
What forms the Epithelial Cuff
REE and Oral Epi
Phase-2 of active eruption
5. Cells in the center of Epithelial Cuff undergo apoptosis without bleeding or inflammation resulting in an epithelium lined Eruption Canal

6. As soon as tooth breaks through the oral epi there will be no pressure/pain and you get formation of the primary junctional epi, primary sulcular epi, primary enamel cuticle
What structures form as soon as the tooth breaks through the oral epi?
Primary Junctional Epithelium

Primary Sulcular Epithelium

Primary Enamel Cuticle
Primary Junctional Epi
Formed through Phase 2 of Active Eruption

What the REE forms as soon as the tooth breaks through the oral epi
Along with Primary Sulcular Epi
Primary Sulcular Epi
Formed through Phase 2 of Active Eruption

What the REE forms as soon as the tooth breaks through the oral epi
Along with Primary Junctional Epi
Primary Enamel Cuticle
AKA Nasmyth's Membrane as soon as the tooth breaks through oral epi

Formed through Phase 2 of Active Eruption

It is scraped off by chewing and replaced by Enamel Pellicle (Enamel Cuticle is NOT Enamel Pellicle)
Phase 3 of Active Eruption
7. Tooth comes into full occlusal position

The oral epi proliferates downward to replace old REE forming the secondary junctional epi, secondary sulcular epi, and secondary enamel cuticle
Secondary Junctional Epi
Forms during Phase 3 of Active Eruption

From oral epi replacing old REE
Secondary Sulcular Epi
Forms during Phase 3 of Active Eruption

From oral epi replacing old REE
Secondary Enamel Cuticle
Forms during Phase 3 of Active Eruption

From oral epi replacing old REE

Consists of Dental Cuticle and Cemental Cuticle
Dental Cuticle
What the glue is called when the JE migrates half on enamel and half on cementum
Cemental Cuticle
What the glue is called when the JE migrates down all the way to cementum
What are the requirements for eruption?
Dental follicle needed to have cementum, PDL, and alveolar bone forming at the same time

monocytes which convert to macrophages --> clast cells

Clast cells to resorb bone, resorb roots, and widen bone crypts for eruption
Clast cells
Required for eruption

Resorbs bone to make an Eruption canal for eruption of primary and secondary non-succedaneous teeth

Resorbs roots of primary teeth for eruption of secondary succedaneous teeth

Widens bone crypts for eruption of secondary succedaneous teeth
What are some eruption theories?
Root growth theory

Bone growth theory

Vascular pressure theory

Ligament traction theory
Root Growth Theory of Eruption
The down growth of the root causes pressure on the alveolus pushing the tooth upwards into occlusion

Problem: it takes 4-5g of pressure for tooth to erupt. With this pressure, the alveolar bone is more likely to resorb before any eruption
Bone Growth Theory of Eruption
Selective deposition and resorption of the alveolar bone pushes the tooth upward into occlusion

Problem: There must be resorption at the top and deposition at the bottom of alveolar bone to get eruption. But the opposite is actually occurring (alveolar bone is getting resorbed at the bottom)

Therefore, remodeling of bone occurs as a result of eruption, it is not the cause of for eruption
Remodeling bone
Occurs as as result of eruption

Not a cause for eruption

Alveolar bone gets resorbed at the bottom
Vascular Pressure Theory
Increased vascular pressure causes edema pushing the tooth upwards into occlusion

Probably only a secondary factor in eruption
Ligament Traction Theory
Remodeling of PDL collagen fibers PULLS the tooth upward into occlusion

The collagen fibers twist and shorten during their assembly into Oblique fibers putting torsion of the tooth pulling it upwards

Support: If you interfere with collagen synthesis through Vit-C deficiency there is no eruption of teeth

4 spaces

Created when secondary 2nd premolar erupts to replace primary 2nd molar

Because premolar is smaller in width than primary molar, space is created

Accommodates for crowding
What is the advantage of having a larger Mandibular Leeway Space than Maxillary?
Allows for more mesial drift so that a Flush Terminal Plane occlusion can resolve itself
What is the purpose to secondary dentition erupting more labially than primary?
They erupt into a greater circumference of the jaw when done labially

Minimizes chance for crowding
Why are anterior teeth more susceptible to crowding than posterior teeth?
Because Leeway spaces are located in the posterior part of the jaw
Which teeth are more susceptible to crowding?
Anterior dentition because of lack of Leeway spaces

Mandibular dentition because the Maxillary can limit how far foward Mandibular teeth can erupt
Why is the Mandibular arch more susceptible to crowding that Maxillary arch?
Because the maxillary arch limits how far forward the mandibular teeth can erupt into a larger circumference of the jaw
