1
Q

Dental anatomy

A

Defines as but not limited to: the study of development, morphology, function, and identity of each of the teeth in the human dentition. The way in which the teeth relate in shape, form, structure, color, and function to the other teeth in the same dental arch and opposing arch

Q

Permanent teeth, first eruption and completion

A

Adult dentition, first eruption about 6 years and complete at about 14 or 15. These teeth will remain in tact until disease, trauma, or death.
