It is the axial or occlusal movement of the tooth from its developmental position within the jaws to functional position in the occlusal plane.- (orban’s)
Eruption is the movement of the developing teeth within and through the bone and the overlying mucosa of the jaws to appear in the oral cavity and reach the occlusal plane.-(james k. avery)

HISTOLOGY OF TOOTH MOVEMENT
Bone remodelling occurs within the crypt wall during physiologic tooth movement. At right , osteoblasts are present for bone deposition and are seen as a continuous row of minute spots. At left , osteoclasts are present for bone resorption and are seen as dark spots.
Bone remodelling – selective deposition and removal of bone by osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity.
These movements of both deciduous and permanent tooth germs are a combination of 2 factors :-
1)Total bodily movement2)Eccentric growthPresence of dental follicle.
Bodily movement of crown during pre-eruptive phase
2)ERUPTIVE / PREFUNCTIONAL TOOTH MOVEMENT
PATTERN OF TOOTH MOVEMENT
The tooth moves from its position within the bone of the jaw to its functional position in occlusion , and the principal direction of movement is occlusal or axial.
However , it is important to recognize that jaw growth is normally occurring while most teeth are erupting , so that movements in planes other than axial are superimposed on eruptive movement.
HISTOLOGY OF TOOTH MOVEMENT
5 major events takes place :-5 major events takes place :-1) The secretory phase of
amelogenesis is completed just before the onset of root formation and prefunctional eruption.
There is a relation between the cessation of mineralisation and activation of the epithelial cells beyond the enamel – forming area.

3)The supraosseous stage begins when the erupting tooth moves occlusally through the bone of the crypt and the connective tissue of the oral mucosa , so that the reduced enamel epithelium covering the crown comes into contact with the oral epithelium.
Crown tip approaching oral epitheliumCrown tip approaching oral epithelium
As this occurs , the reduced enamel epithelium of the crown proliferates and forms a firm attachment with the oral epithelium. A fused , double layer over the erupting crown is then formed.

BONE REMODELLINGBONE REMODELLING Selective deposition and resorption of bone brings
about eruption.
Bone remodelling of the crypt wall , clearly is important to achieve tooth eruption.
The intense metabolic activity in the alveolar bone taking place around the moving tooth requires the presence of dental follicle.
Experiments have shown that when tooth germ is removed but the follicle is left in position , the eruptive pathway still forms in bone indicating dental follicle and not bone as the major determinant in tooth eruption.
determines position of tooth
Thus , dental follicle plays important role in bone
remodelling by stimulating osteoclasts & osteoblast coordinates bony changes
This theory is still recognized , as the persons genetically lacking in osteoclasts
have retarded tooth eruption.
ROOT GROWTHROOT GROWTH Root growth theory considers growth in
root length to be responsible for tooth eruption , as the growing root presses against the socket base & opposite force pushes the tooth to erupt.
Although at first glance this may seem an obvious mechanism , root formation is unlikely to be the cause of tooth eruption.
the basis of this theory is questionable due to certain facts :-Some teeth move a greater distance than the length of their fully formed roots.Some teeth still erupt after root formation has been completed.Rootless teeth also erupt.If root formation is responsible for eruption , it would be expected that the onset of root formation and eruptive movement would coincide.
If root formation results in an eruptive force , there is the requirement of a fixed base , but the bone at the base of the root cannot act as a fixed base as pressure on the bone results in its resorption.
Presence of CUSHION – HAMMOCK LIGAMENT.
Root growth theory is now considered to be unimportant for tooth eruption , but it is true that root growth is necessary for eruption as it gives attachment to periodontal fibers.
HYDROSTATIC / VASCULAR PRESSUREHYDROSTATIC / VASCULAR PRESSUREThis theory is based on the fact that dental papilla is highly vascular.It is known that teeth move in synchrony with the arterial pulse , so local volume changes can produce limited tooth movement.Ground substance can swell upto 50% with the addition of water , and a differential pressure sufficient to cause tooth movement between the tissues above and below the erupting tooth has been reported in the dog.Again, whether such pressures are the prime movers of teeth is debatable because surgical excision of the root , and therefore the local vasculature , does not prevent tooth eruption.

Through fibronexus they transmit forces to the collagen bundles.
These collagen bundles apart from undergoing remodelling are also inclined at the correct angle to bring about eruptive movement – basic requirement for tooth movement
It is concluded that the force for tooth eruption is most probably generated by the contractile property of fibroblast of ligament along with other conditions (presence of follicle) which must be present so that this contraction can be used for tooth eruption.

CONTINUOUS TOOTH CONTINUOUS TOOTH ERUPTONERUPTON Eruption does not cease when teeth meet
their antagonists but continues throughout life.
It consists of :- 1)active eruption 2)passive eruptionActive eruption – is the movement of teeth in
the direction of the occlusal plane.Passive eruption – is the exposure of the
teeth by apical migration of the gingiva.
Anatomic crown – the portion of the tooth covered by enamel.Anatomic root – the portion of the tooth covered by cementum.Clinical crown – the part of the tooth that has been denuded of its gingiva and projects into the oral cavity.Clinical root – the portion of the tooth covered by periodontal tissues.When the teeth reach their functional antagonists , the gingival sulcus and junctional epithelium are still on enamel and the clinical crown is approximately 2/3rds of the anatomic crown.“Gottlieb” believed that active and passive eruption proceed together.Active eruption is coordinated with attrition
CLINICAL CONSIDERATION
1) DEFICIENCY OF VITAMIN C
Necessary for the formation of collagen fibers
& Cross – linkages between collagen fibers.
Deficiency – collagen fibers poorly formed in the pdl and tooth fails to erupt or erupts slowly and very late.
2) TEETHING PROBLEMS

SHEDDING OF PRIMARY TEETH
Definition :Shedding is the exfoliation of the primary teeth caused by physiological resorption of their roots.(James k. Avery)Causes :1.Loss of root2.Loss of bone3.Increased force
1. Loss of root : Pressure from growing
and erupting permanent teeth induces the
differentiation of osteoclast which results in resorption
of the primary root.
Resorption shortens the root and causes loss of attachment fibers of the periodontal ligament.
2. Loss of bone : Weakening of the supporting tissues of the primary teeth occurs as a result of root resorption and modifications of the alveolar bone. Supporting structures are weakened also by facial growth of the alveolar bone , which occurs to provide sufficient space for positioning of the permanent teeth.
3. Increased force : Increased masticatory forces on the weakened teeth are a result of muscular growth , this amplifies compression of the periodontal ligaments and promotes resoption of the teeth and alveolar bone.
CONCLUSION
Eruption is the movement of the teeth through the bone of the jaw and the overlying mucosa, to appear and functional in the oral cavity.
Active eruption is the result of occlusal movement of the tooth. Clinical eruption begins with the appearance of the crown tip in
the oral cavity and continues until the tooth comes into occlusion. The periodontal fibers are organizing to stabilize the erupting
tooth, the root dentinogenesis follows as the bone in the fundic region organizes in response to the change in root length.
Shedding of the primary teeth is the result of progressive resorption of their root through the activity of the osteoclast or odontoclast.
Disturbance of the resorption process results in abnormal behavior of the primary teeth, some primary teeth may be retained because of the absence or impaction of their permanent successors, others may be ankylosed and submerged.
In rare cases, teeth may appear in the oral cavity of newborn or neonatal infants, and are called preprimary teeth.
