Study Notes
Tooth Development and Eruption
- Deciduous teeth begin to develop at 7-9 weeks in utero.
- Calcification of deciduous teeth begins at birth, specifically the primary teeth.
Calcification of Permanent Teeth
- Calcification of the first permanent molars begins around birth.
- The crown of the first permanent molar starts to form around 3-4 years old.
Tooth Formation
- The crown of a deciduous tooth is mostly formed at birth, taking around 12-14 weeks to develop.
- The occlusal surface of a permanent tooth starts to form around 2-3 years old.
Tooth Eruption
- The shedding of deciduous teeth begins around 6-12 years old.
- The sequence of eruption of primary teeth is: lower central incisors (6-12 months), upper central incisors (8-12 months), lower lateral incisors (9-16 months), upper lateral incisors (9-13 months), canines (16-22 months), first molars (13-19 months), and second molars (23-28 months).
- The sequence of eruption of permanent teeth is: first molars (6-7 years old), central incisors (7-8 years old), lateral incisors (8-9 years old), canines (11-12 years old), premolars (10-12 years old), second molars (12-13 years old), and third molars (17-21 years old).
- The first, second, and third permanent molars erupt at 6-7 years old, 11-13 years old, and 17-21 years old, respectively.
Tooth Identification Systems
- The Universal Numbering System is used throughout a dentist's career to identify teeth.
- Tooth eruption occurs in three stages: bud stage, cap stage, and bell stage.
