tooth eruption
Tooth eruption is a process in tooth development in which the teeth enter the mouth and become visible. It is currently believed that the periodontal ligament plays an important role in tooth eruption. The first human teeth to appear, the deciduous (primary) teeth (also known as baby or milk teeth), erupt into the mouth from around 6 months until 2 years of age, in a process known as "teething". These teeth are the only ones in the mouth until a person is about 6 years old creating the primary dentition stage. At that time, the first permanent tooth erupts and begins a time in which there is a combination of primary and permanent teeth, known as the mixed dentition stage, which lasts until the last primary tooth is lost. Then, the remaining permanent teeth erupt into the mouth during the permanent dentition stage.
==Theories==
Although researchers agree that tooth eruption is a complex process, there is little agreement on the identity of the mechanism that controls eruption.〔Riolo, Michael L. and James K. Avery. ''Essentials for Orthodontic Practice''. 1st edition. 2003. p. 142. ISBN 0-9720546-0-X.〕 There have been many theories over time that have been eventually disproven.〔Harris, Edward F. ''Craniofacial Growth and Development.'' In the section titled "Tooth Eruption." 2002. pp. 1–3.〕 According to (Growth Displacement Theory ), tooth is pushed upward into the mouth by the growth of the tooth's root in opposite direction. Continued Bone Formation Theory advocated that a tooth is pushed upward by the growth of the bone around the tooth. In addition, some believed teeth were pushed upward by vascular pressure or by an anatomic feature called the cushioned hammock. The cushioned hammock theory, first proposed by Harry Sicher, was taught widely from the 1930s to the 1950s. This theory postulated that a ligament below a tooth, which Sicher observed under a microscope on a histologic slide, was responsible for eruption. Later, the "ligament" Sicher observed was determined to be merely an artifact created in the process of preparing the slide.〔Harris, Edward F. ''Craniofacial Growth and Development.'' In the section titled "Tooth Eruption." 2002. p. 3.〕
The most widely held current theory is that while several forces might be involved in eruption, the periodontal ligament provides the main impetus for the process. Theorists hypothesize that the periodontal ligament promotes eruption through the shrinking and cross-linking of their collagen fibers and the contraction of their fibroblasts.〔Harris, Edward F. ''Craniofacial Growth and Development.'' In the section titled "Tooth Eruption." 2002. p. 5.〕
There is good evidence from experimental animals that a traction force is unlikely to be involved in tooth eruption: Animals treated with lathyrogens that interfere with collagen cross-link formation showed similar eruption rates to control animals, provided occlusal forces were removed.
