Dentition is accomplished by:
  1. Growth of alveolar process
  2. Enamel eruption
  3. Appositional growth
  4. Incisor growth
Explanation
Answer: A - Dentition is accomplished by the growth of the alveolar process. The alveolar process will increase in height and length to accommodate dentition development. Dentition development is the only function of the alveolar process. If a tooth fails to erupt, the alveolar process will never form and will atrophy if the tooth is extracted.
