Outline
I. Phases of Eruption
1. Pre-eruptive Phase/Pre-eruptive Tooth
Movement
2. Eruptive Tooth Movement
3. Post-eruptive Tooth Movement
- Gubernacular Cord
II. Theories on the Mechanism of Tooth Movement
1. Bone Remodelling Theory
2. Theory of Root Growth
3. Vascular Pressure Theory
4. Ligament Traction Theory
III. Odontoclasts
Clear Zone
Ruffled Border
V. Clinical Considerations
Jaws of infant can only accommodate few small teeth.
Deciduous teeth once formed cannot increase in size
PRO
1. Expt #3 tissue responsible for its eruption is PDL
2. Another study fed the rats with aminoacetonitrile, a
lathyrogen (drug that interferes with formation of
collagen fibers). When given to rats, it interrupts
the formation of collagen fibers of PDL; thus, rate of
eruption decreases
ANTI
1. Another group performed the experiment. However,
their result was that there was no effect on the rate of
eruption. The tooth was just easier to extract.
