摘要
Tooth eruption is an essential process for the survival of many different species and although the movement of teeth into function has been the subject of extensive research there is no consensus as to the mechanisms involved. Recent understanding of the mechanisms of cell activation and regulation has widened the scope for further research at the molecular level. This paper reviews the evidence for an eruptive force, its direction and source. The relationships between the eruptive force and molecular mechanisms of cell activation remain to be determined.
