Study Notes
Phases of Eruption of Permanent Teeth
- The first permanent molars erupt at 6 years of age, supporting the deciduous dentition and increasing chewing efficiency to adapt to jaw growth.
- The permanent central and then lateral incisors erupt with 1.6mm crowding in the lower incisor segment, with their permanent location and alignment established only after dental arch development is completed.
- The 1st and 2nd premolars take the places of the deciduous molars, with a smaller size in M-D dimensions, resulting in Leeway space of Nance (average: 0.9 mm on each maxillary quadrant, 1.7 mm on each mandibular quadrant).
- The Leeway space of Nance is utilized for the alignment of permanent incisors and for the molars to adjust the proper occlusal relation of maxillary and mandibular permanent molars.
- The canines (corner stones) force themselves by wedging between the lateral incisors and first premolars in both jaws, with the second molars erupting distal to the first molars.
- The eruption of the wisdom tooth marks the final phase.
Completed Dental Arch
- The permanent dental arch is completed at the fourth phase (end of 12 years with the eruption of 3 & 7).
Primate Space
- The primate space is noticed during the development of deciduous occlusion.
- It is the space between upper B & C for maxillary teeth and between lower C & D for mandibular teeth.
- Its function is to preserve a space for the permanent teeth for proper occlusion.
Curves of Occlusal Planes
- The occlusal surfaces of dental arches do not follow a flat plane but have curved surfaces.
- The curves of the lower dental arch are concave, while those of the upper dental arch are convex.
- The two curved planes become identical in centric occlusion.
Curve of Spee
- The curve is observed in the sagittal plane.
- It is observed from a point opposite the first molars.
- Incisal ridges of anterior teeth and buccal cusps of posterior teeth follow a curve that ends at the anterior border of the condyle.
- This curve complements the path of the mandibular condyles in the anterio-posterior movements of the mandible.
Curve of Wilson
- The curve is observed in the coronal plane.
- For each posterior tooth, the occlusal surfaces of both right and left teeth adapt to a curved plane (convex for upper and concave for lower).
- The curve becomes deeper as you go posterior due to the increased inclination of posterior teeth.
- The crowns of mandibular posterior teeth incline lingually, while those of maxillary posterior teeth incline buccally.
Overbite and Overjet
- The horizontal overlap is known as overjet (2-4 mm).
- The vertical overlap is known as overbite (2-4 mm).
Relationship of Anterior Teeth
- Maxillary anterior teeth overlap mandibular teeth.
- The incisal edges of maxillary anterior teeth are labial to the incisal edges of mandibular teeth.
- The parabolic curves of each dental arch are divided into three segments overlapping each other.
