05 Development of Dentition Flashcards
When does the calcification of the primary teeth begin?
3.5-4.5 months after conception
The first teeth to erupt are the mandibular centrals, what age?
6-7 months
What tooth is the last to erupt? What month does this happen?
Maxillary 2nd Molar (AJ)
26 months
Which dentition shows less variability
Primary
The primary occlusion changes in order to adapt to these two things
Skeletal growth
Occlusal wear
At what stages of dental calcification and development are girls more advanced than boys?
All stages
When do teeth start to move occlusally
Not until crown formation is complete
What physical characteristic of teeth is determined genetically
Tooth size
There are relationships between these three genetically related conditions
Dental agenesis
Delayed development
Diminished size of teeth
Which condition is more likely:
Congenitally missing teeth or Supernumerary teeth?
Congenitally missing
Are congenitally missing teeth more likely in boys or girls
boys
Are changes in the width of the dental arch timed more closely to dental development or skeletal growth?
Dental development
When does dental arch circumference decrease?
During the late transitional and early permanent dentition
What surfaces are determinant factors in the initial permanent molar occlusion?
Distal of primary 2nd molars
Which teeth show the greatest variability in development
3rd moalrs
What is the order of calcification of primary teeth?
