    Study Notes

    Tooth Eruption Phases

    • The phase encompassing all movements of primary and permanent tooth crowns from initial formation to crown completion is known as tooth eruption.

    Tooth Movement Process

    • Eruption is the process that moves a tooth from its crypt position through the alveolar process into the oral cavity, ultimately positioning it for occlusion with its antagonist.

    Appearance of Tooth Parts

    • The moment any part of the cusp or crown emerges through the gingiva is termed the eruption of the tooth.

    Eruption and Root Formation

    • The phase of tooth eruption that correlates more closely with the stage of root formation than with the chronological age of the child is often referred to as the root formation phase.

    Simultaneous Activities During Eruption

    • During the eruption of teeth, root development and crown formation occur simultaneously.

    Primary Dentition Eruption Sequence

    • The first teeth to erupt in both the upper and lower arches of primary dentition are the mandibular central incisors.

    Permanent Teeth Eruption in the Mandible

    • The most common sequence of eruption for permanent teeth in the mandible begins with the central incisors, followed by lateral incisors, canines, first molars, and second molars.

    Permanent Teeth Eruption in the Maxilla

    • In the maxilla, after the eruption of the central incisors, the typical sequence is lateral incisors, canines, first molars, followed by second molars.

    Normal Variation in Eruption Timing

    • Normal variations in timing for the eruption of both primary and permanent teeth can include differences of several months to a year, depending on genetic and environmental factors.
