Chapter 8: Tooth Replacement, Mixed Dentition Flashcards
When does tooth replacement or the transition period occur?
Between 6-12 years of age
tooth replacement or the transition period are characterised by:
- the presence of temporary and permanent teeth simultaneously
The 3 stages of tooth replacement or the transition period are:
- mixed dentition 1st stage
- mixed dentition 2nd stage
- 3rd stage
Which dentition (temporary or permanent) has a greater variability in its chronology?
Permanent dentition
Which stage (1st or 2nd) has a greater variability in its chronology?
2nd
What affects the eruption chronology?
- endocrine, prepubescent, and local conditions (trauma)
Mixed dentition 1st stage: what teeth erupt during this stage?
Incisors and 1st molars
Mixed dentition 1st stage: from what ages?
6-9 years old
Mixed dentition 1st stage: eruption sequence with ages:
- 6 years old: 1st molars
- 6.5 years old: lower central incisors
- 7 years old: upper central incisors
- 7.5 years old: lower lateral incisors
- 8 years old: upper lateral incisors
Lower B4 upper!!
The only time its upper B4 lower: primary dentition lateral incisors and in permanent dentition PM
Mixed dentition 2nd stage: what teeth erupt during this stage?
Canines, PM, and 2nd molars
Mixed dentition 2nd stage: from what ages?
9-12 years old
Mixed dentition 2nd stage: eruption sequence with ages:
- 9 years old: upper 1st PM + lower canine
- 10 years old: lower 1st PM + upper 2nd PM
- 11 years old: upper canine + lower 2nd PM
- 12 years old: 2nd molars
3rd stage: which teeth erupt during this stage?
3rd molars
3rd stage: from what ages?
18-25 years old
Why is the sequence of eruption very important?
Because it determines the use of the spaces in the arch
Eruption sequence: posterior teeth (2nd stage sequence) of the upper arch: MOST FREQUENT SEQUENCE:
4 (1st PM), 5 (2nd PM), 3 (canine), 7 (2nd molar)
Eruption sequence: posterior teeth (2nd stage sequence) of the upper arch: FREQUENT SEQUENCE:
4 (1st PM) ,3 (canine) ,5 (2nd PM) ,7 (2nd molar)
Eruption sequence: posterior teeth (2nd stage sequence) of the upper and lower arch: UNFAVOURABLE SEQUENCE:
2nd molar before canine or PM will cause a lack of space
Eruption sequence: posterior teeth (2nd stage sequence) of the lower arch: MOST FREQUENT SEQUENCE:
3 (canine), 4 (1st PM), 5 (2nd PM), 7 (2nd molar)
Eruption sequence: posterior teeth (2nd stage sequence) of the lower arch: COMMON SEQUENCE:
3 (canine), 5 (2nd PM), 7 (2nd molar)
