Abstract
Strain from functional forces may continuously drive post-eruptive emergence of teeth through bony remodelling of the lamina dura, lifting teeth by both raising the apical lamina dura, and narrowing the upper root space to accommodate tapering root form. Such strain-driven bone turnover may contribute to pre-eruptive movement of teeth.
