Chapter 6: Dental Eruption, Tooth Resorption, Mechanisms Flashcards
Eruption represents?
A series of phenomena by which the tooth migrates from its site of formation to its functional position in the oral cavity and lasts the whole tooth life
Dental emergence is defined as? And is it the same as eruption?
The moment when the tooth appears in the mouth
No
The process starts with? But the relatively quick axial movements are due to?
Odontogenesis or formation of tooth germs and maturation and calcification
Root development
IEE + OEE=
HERS
What determines the shape and size of the root and influences tooth eruption?
HERS
What happens to the HERS, as the root grows?
Gets fragments and disappears
If epithelial rests of the HERS remain, its called? And might lead to?
Epithelial rests of Malassez, radicular cysts
When does the alveolar septa and the development of the PDL start?
When the root growth exceeds 1-2mm
What happens when the root length reaches 2/3 of its final length?
The crown is close to the oral cavity and both epithelia fuse to allow the tooth to apear
What allows the tooth to appear without ulcerating the gums?
The fusion of both epithelia (oral and dental)
Factors involved in dental eruption:
- Root growth
- HERS proliferation
- Alveolar bone growth and apposition phenomena at the bottom
- Resorption of the alveolar crest and development of the alveolar septa
- Force exerted by the vascular tissues around the root
- Dentin growth and pulp constriction, and growth of the periodontal membrane by collagen maturation in the ligament
- Muscle pressure
The stages of tooth eruption are?
- Pre eruptive stage
- Pre functional eruptive stage
- Functional eruptive stage
The two phases of the pre-eruptive stage are?
- Movement of the germ to achieve a position to erupt
- Movement to erupt
What happens during the pre eruptive stage?
- crown calcified, beginning of root formation and Intra alveolar migration to the surface
- combination of mesiodistal and vertical movements will take place
Movement of the germ to achieve a position to erupt: in what direction does the follicle move at first befe moving up?
Laterally, from the innermost part of the maxillary or mandibular bone to the outermost part
Movement of the germ to achieve a position to erupt: what kind of growth do the follicle and germ experience?
Centrifugal (away from the center), until the formation of the crown is completed and the root begins to develop
Movement to erupt: when the root begins to develop the forming tooth begins what kind of movement towards the surface of the gum?
Vertical movement
Movement to erupt: the distance covered (vertical) is equal to?
The growth that the forming root is experiencing
When the tooth is in the mouth without making contact with the antagonist, which stage is it in?
Pre functional eruptive stage
Prefucntional eruptive stage:
- crown is?
- root is?
- crown is calcified
- root is 2/3 formed
The emergence of the crown in the oral cavity is called?
Active eruption
Displacement of the epithelial attachment simultaneous to active eruption is called?
Passive eruption
Clinical emergence movements within the bone occur until?
Its erupts completely and contacts the antagonist in occlusion
Functional eruptive stage: what happens
the tooth sets its occlusion with the antagonsit, and the movements that occur will. Last for the lifetime of the tooth, trying to compensate for for tooth wear or abrasion
Post eruptive movements keep the tooth in occlusion, compensating for?
- the movement of the jaws: a movement towards occlusal occurs to offset the growth of the jaws
- the occlusal wear
- the proximal wear
The proximal wear:
- Inter proximal wear: offset by several forces that will tend to join the teeth in the mesial and distal sides
- occlusal force
- soft tissue pressures
- contraction of the transeptal ligament
When can the vertical eruption resume?
At any time of life if contact with the antagonists disappears, due to the tooth loss or imbalance of occlusion
What happens alongside active eruption in adults?
Passive eruption , its not the vertical displacement of the tooth but a progressive retraction of the gingiva and the rest of the structures around the tooth
This makes the tooth crown lengthen with age
