    Study Notes

    Dentistry and Children

    • Pediatric dentistry focuses on the dental care of children, addressing their unique oral health needs from infancy through adolescence.

    Eruption of Teeth

    • Eruption refers to the process by which teeth emerge from the gums and become visible in the mouth.

    Factors Affecting Teeth Formation and Eruption

    • Genetic factors can determine the timing and sequence of tooth eruption.
    • Environmental factors, such as nutrition, can influence dental development.
    • Health conditions, including systemic diseases or dental-related issues, can also affect tooth formation and eruption.

    Primary Dentition

    • Also known as "deciduous" or "baby teeth," primary dentition consists of 20 teeth that provide essential functions in a child's oral cavity before permanent teeth replace them.

    Tooth Movement Toward Occlusion

    • The process of tooth movement toward occlusion begins at the eruption phase, where each tooth starts to align with opposing teeth for proper bite and function.
