    Tooth Exfoliation

    The process of primary teeth being shed to make way for permanent teeth.

    Tooth Eruption

    The process by which teeth emerge through the gums into the mouth.

    Primary Dentition

    The first set of teeth in children, also known as baby teeth.

    Secondary Dentition

    Study Notes

    Tooth Exfoliation and Eruption

    • The presentation covers the sequence and importance of tooth eruption and exfoliation in primary and secondary dentition.
    • Aim: To provide students with an understanding of the chronology of eruption and exfoliation of primary teeth and the eruption of secondary teeth.
    • Learning outcomes: To understand the terminology, reasons for learning the sequence, calcification dates, eruption dates, and exfoliation dates for primary and permanent dentition.

    Reasons for Learning Eruption/Exfoliation Patterns

    • Primary teeth maintain space for permanent teeth, guiding their growth.
    • Understanding the normal sequence helps identify deviations.
    • There are gender differences in eruption timing, with girls generally erupting sooner than boys.

    Impact of Systemic and Local Factors on Permanent Dentition

    • Systemic factors, including genetic predisposition, nutrition, metabolic disorders, infections, specific diseases (kidney/cancer), certain medications (chemotherapy drugs), and environmental exposures (low birth weight/smoking), can impact the eruption of permanent teeth.
    • Local factors, like early loss of primary teeth, impacted/misplaced permanent teeth (especially maxillary 3s and mandibular 8s), missing teeth, supernumerary teeth, trauma, and conditions like gingival hyperplasia/fibrosis or oral clefts, can affect the eruption of permanent teeth.

    Tooth Chronology - Deciduous Dentition

    • Detailed tables showing the initial calcification, completion of crown formation, eruption, and completion of root development for each deciduous tooth (in maxillary and mandibular arches). Specific timelines are given for each tooth type.

    Tooth Chronology - Permanent Dentition

    • Detailed tables showing the initial calcification, completion of crown formation, eruption, and completion of root development for each permanent tooth (in maxillary and mandibular arches). Specific timelines are given for each tooth type.

    Order of Eruption – Deciduous/Permanent Dentitions

    • Charts illustrating the order of eruption for deciduous and permanent teeth in both the maxillary and mandibular arches.

    Dentopantomograph (DPT) of Mixed Dentition

    • Images of dental radiographs highlighting examples of missing teeth in mixed dentition.

    Delayed Eruption/Impacted Upper Right Canine, Impacted 8s

    • Radiographic images demonstrating examples of impacted/delayed teeth.

    Impact to Permanent Dentition: General

    • Primary tooth infection can impact the permanent teeth developing below including, trauma, need for orthodontic assessment. Specific examples and explanations of how trauma may impact are given.

    Eruption Cysts

    • Information and images describing eruption cysts, including supporting images of relevant cases and data.

    Comparison of Radiograph and Teeth Present

    • Demonstrates the correspondence between clinical dental radiographs and the anticipated tooth development status based on age.

    References

    • A list of relevant publications and websites used in the presentation.
