lMechanism: Forces necessary for generating tooth eruption may be derived by:
lRandomly oriented fibres become ordered
lContraction of collagen due to crosslinking
lContraction of collagen due to GAG turnover
lContraction of collagen due to myofibroblasts (have wavy nucleus, microtubules and
microfilaments)
lRemodeling of periodontal ligament collagen by fibroblasts
