“…Such studies may also shed light on whether vascularization plays a role in evolutionary changes in number, position or cycling of teeth. For example, Sutton & Graze () have hypothesized that the hydrodynamic pressure caused by blood flow in the dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the tooth, exerts a force towards the tooth and could cause it to move. Given the abundance of blood vessels in the dentigerous region as described here for zebrafish, hydrodynamic pressures as stated by the blood‐vessel thrust theory (Sutton & Graze, ) could be involved in positioning of the teeth.…”

We describe the vascular supply to the pharyngeal jaws and teeth in zebrafish, from larval stages to juveniles, using serial high quality semithin sections and 3D reconstructions. We have identified that the arterial blood supply to the last pair of branchial arches, which carries the teeth, issues from the hypobranchial artery. Surprisingly, the arteries supplying the pharyngeal jaws show an asymmetric branching pattern that is modified over ontogeny. Moreover, the blood vessel pattern that serves each jaw can best be described as a sinusoidal cavity encircling the bases of both the functional and replacement teeth. Capillaries branching from this sinusoidal cavity enter the pulp and constitute the intrinsic blood supply to the attached teeth. The role of these blood vessels during tooth development (whether instructive or nutritive) remains to be determined and requires further study. However, we have provided a firm morphological basis that will aid in the interpretation of experiments addressing this question.

“…The origin of the forces required for tooth eruption are poorly understood, but a variety of theories including hydrostatic pressure (Chiba and Oshima, 1985;Sutton and Graze, 1985) and inherent contractile properties of periodontal ligament fibroblasts have been hypothesized (Berkovitz, 1990;Gorski et al, 1988). PL cells have the capacity vigorously to contract collagen gels, and this may contribute to the force necessary for tooth eruption (Bellows et al, 1981).…”

“…teeth are moved in three-dimensional space, not 2. teeth erupt with varying characteristic, stage-3. teeth arrive at a functional position that is inherWith this in mind and focusing on teeth with limited eruption, the following theories cannot be considered as serious contenders: pulpal pressure, pulpal growth, traction by periodontal fibroblasts, vascular pressure, and blood-vessel thrust (Herzberg and Schour, 1941;Bryer, 1957;Sutton and Graze, 1985). Instead, root elongation, alveolar bone remodeling, and, possibly, periodontal ligament formation provide the most convincing data to explain tooth eruption in man and other mammalian species.…”

“…While recent reviews (Steedle and Proffit, 1985;Sutton and Graze, 1985;Thesleff, 1987b;Cahill et al, 1988;Marks et al, 1988;Gorski and Marks, 1992) have provided a rather general outline, the purpose of this article is to focus on data critical for man and other mammalian species in order to arrive at a rational, testable, and, if possible, clinically applicable theory (hypothesis) of eruption for teeth with a timely and spacewise limited period of eruption.…”
