    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
