Mechanism of Human Tooth Eruption: Review Article Including a New Theory for Future Studies on the Eruption Process by Inger Kjær

“…Accordingly, the mechanism of eruption depends on the correlation between space in the eruption course, created by the crown follicle, eruption pressure triggered by innervation in the apical root membrane, and the ability of the periodontal ligament to adapt to eruptive movements. Animal studies and studies on normal and pathological eruption in humans can support and explain different aspects in the new theory. …”
