DEVELOPMENT AND ERUPTION Flashcards
Its origin of word came from the latin word “eruptione” which means output with momentum. It is a developmental process whereby a tooth moves from its developmental position in the jaw into its functional position in the mouth.
Eruption
Its origin of word came from the latin word “emergere” and french word “emerger” which means “to come forth into view”. This is the momentary stage of cutting through the overlying gingival mucosa.
Emergence
This begins to form at about 14 weeks in utero & completed postnatally about 3 years of age; and begins to emerge at the mean age of 6 months, and the last emerge at a mean age of 28 +- 4 months.
Primary dentition/Deciduous dentition
This begins to erupt at a mean age of 6yo; and marks the transition or mixed dentition period
Permanent dentition
This is the permanent teeth that replaces the
deciduous teeth in the dental arc (Central Incisors, Lateral Incisors, Canines, Premolars)
Succedaneous teeth
They do not have predecessors, and they do not succeed or replace deciduous teeth. (Maxillary and Mandibular 1St, 2nd, and 3rd molars)
Non-succedaneous teeth
The first indication of tooth formation occurs as early as the sixth week of prenatal life; Jaws are small compared with the large brain case and orbits; Lower face height is smaller with the neurocranium; Mandibular arch > Maxillary arch; All stages of tooth formation fill both jaws
Prenatal/Perinatal/Postnatal Development
SEQUENCE OF EMERGENCE OF PRIMARY
TEETH
A B D C E
Sequence of eruption of permanent teeth in maxillary
6, 1, 2, 4, 5, 3, 7, 8
Sequence of eruption of permanent teeth in mandibular
6, 1, 2, , 3, 4, 5, 7, 8
This is the first transition dentition begins with the emergence and eruption of the permanent mandibular first molars and ends with the loss of the last primary tooth.
Mixed dentition
IMPORTANT TIMES FOR TOOTH ERUPTION:
From birth to 6 months old (approximately):
There are no teeth visible within the mouth
No teeth (edentulous)
IMPORTANT TIMES FOR TOOTH ERUPTION:
All primary teeth are erupting into the child’s mouth over this period.
Primary dentition:
6 MONTHS TO 2 YEARS OLD (APPROXIMATELY)
IMPORTANT TIMES FOR TOOTH ERUPTION:
All 20 primary teeth are present; no permanent teeth are yet visible in the mouth.
Primary dentition:
2 to 6 years old (approximately)
IMPORTANT TIMES FOR TOOTH ERUPTION:
Permanent teeth start to appear, beginning with the first molars (also called 6-year molars). These are followed closely by the loss of the primary mandibular central incisors.
Mixed dentition:
6 YEARS OLD (APPROXIMATELY)
IMPORTANT TIMES FOR TOOTH ERUPTION:
All eight permanent incisors replace primary incisors that are exfoliated (shed).
Mixed dentition:
6 TO 9 YEARS OLD
IMPORTANT TIMES FOR TOOTH ERUPTION:
All four permanent canines and eight premolars replace primary canines and molars.
Mixed dentition:
9 TO 12 YEARS OLD:
IMPORTANT TIMES FOR TOOTH ERUPTION:
Second molars (also called 12-year molars) emerge distal to the permanent first molars
Mixed dentition:
12 YEARS OLD
