A
  • pre eruptive phase
  • pre funcional eruptive phase

  • phase is finished with early initiation of root formation
  • the developing crowns move constantly
  • the permanent anterior teeth begin developing lingual to the insical level of the primary teeth
  • then as the primary teeth erupt, the permanent successors are positioned lingual to the apical third of their roots
  • except molars that have no primary predecessors
96
Q

Pre functional eruptive phase:

A
  • starts with initiation of root formation and ends when the teeth reach occlusal contact
    4 major events occur in this phase: root formation, movement, penetration, intraoral occlusal or incisal movement

Q

Root formation:

A
  • first step is proliferation of the epithelial root sheath
    Inc in fibrous tissue
98
Q

Movement:

A

Q

Penetration :

A

Only the organic developmental cubical covers the enamel

100
Q

Intraoral occlusal or incisal movement

A

Erupting tooth continues until clinical contact
Increasing apical shift of the gingival attachment

101
Q

Possible cause of tooth eruption?

A

-most frequent? Root growth, and pulpal pressure
- other causes: cell proliferation, increased vascularity, increased bone formation around teeth
