Study Notes
Human Dentition
- Humans, like most mammals, have two sets of teeth: deciduous (primary) teeth and permanent teeth.
Tooth Eruption
- Not a cause of permanent teeth eruption: none of the above (implying the text does not mention a specific cause)
Root Resorption
- Duration of Phase 1: not specified
- At the end of Phase 1: the roots of deciduous teeth are partially resorbed
- Role of sulcular epithelium: helps in the process of root resorption
Tooth Replacement
- Term for the process of replacing deciduous teeth with permanent successors: not specified
- Reason for another generation of teeth: deciduous teeth are small and not strong enough to last a lifetime
Deciduous Anterior Teeth
- Initial development of permanent incisors and canines tooth germs: lingual to their deciduous predecessors
- Initiation of the resorptive process: growth of the permanent tooth germs
- Pattern of shedding: deciduous anterior teeth are shed in a specific order
- Replacement of primary teeth by permanent successors: in the exact position, guided by the root of the deciduous tooth
Physiologic Process
- Significance of replacing deciduous teeth with permanent successors: allows for a more functional and efficient dental system
