Study Notes
Tooth Development and Eruption
- The process of a developing tooth moving from the bony crypt to appear in the oral cavity is called tooth eruption.
Calcification of Deciduous Teeth
- Calcification of deciduous teeth begins around 3-4 months in utero.
Calcification of Permanent Teeth
- The first permanent tooth to begin calcification is the first molar, which starts at birth.
Sequence of Deciduous Teeth Eruption
- Deciduous teeth erupt in the following sequence: lower central incisors, upper central incisors, lower lateral incisors, upper lateral incisors, canines, and first molars.
Estimating Age using Tooth Development
- The chronology of teeth and the anatomy of the mandible can be used to estimate the age of a person or specimen.
