PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF TOOTH ERUPTION AND FORMATION OF OCCLUSION IN CHILDREN: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Teething is a physiological process stage characterized by the appearance of milk, then permanent teeth in children. Tooth eruption is its axial movement from a non-functional position in the bone tissue of the jaw to a functional occlusion. The dynamics of this process depends on the degree of formation of the root, periodontium and is closely related to the development and growth of the craniofacial complex [1, 20].
