  2. Maxillary ectopic canine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxillary_ectopic_canine

    There are two main theories on the aetiology of palatally impacted canines. One is the genetic theory whereby the cause is thought to be polygenic. There is a high rate of incidence of ectopic canines with dental anomalies such as pegged lateral incisors, missing lateral incisors, delayed eruption, and the absence of crowding.

  3. Serial extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_extraction

    Extracting both primary canines and first molars – this is a compromise between rapid improvement in incisor alignment and the desired early eruption of first premolars. In some cases this sequence results in simultaneous eruption of canines and first premolar, which may cause an increased distal translation of the permanent canines and ...

    The right deciduous maxillary canine is known as "C" and the left one "H". In international notation, the right deciduous maxillary canine is known as "53" and the left one "63". In the universal system of notation, the permanent maxillary canines are referred to by numbers. The right permanent maxillary canine is known as "6" and the left "11".

  5. Tooth gemination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_gemination

    Double teeth are more common in primary teeth with a prevalence of 0.5 - 0.7%, but can occur in permanent teeth. [1] Unlike tooth fusion, tooth gemination is more common in the maxillary incisors and canines. [3] [4] [5] Like tooth gemination, tooth fusion is more common in the anterior teeth (incisors and canines). Double teeth affect both ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodontic_indices

    Dental age 3 begins when stage 2 ended and ends with all the permanent central, lateral incisors and first permanent molar are in occlusion. Dental age 4 begins when stage 3 ended and ends with the eruption of any permanent canines or premolar. Dental age 5 begins when stage 4 ended and ends with all permanent canines and premolar are in occlusion.

  7. Tooth fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_fusion

    Double teeth can cause other dental problems such as crowding, ectopic eruption of adjacent teeth, gum issues, cavities, malocclusion, poor esthetics, and more. [1] Treatment depends on whether the tooth is a primary or permanent tooth, the degree of fusion, and its functional & esthetic impact.

  8. Mammal tooth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammal_tooth

    Horse teeth can be used to estimate the animal's age. Between birth and five years, age can be closely estimated by observing the eruption pattern on milk teeth and then permanent teeth. By age five, all permanent teeth have usually erupted. The horse is then said to have a "full" mouth.

  9. Permanent teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_teeth

    Permanent teeth or adult teeth are the second set of teeth formed in diphyodont mammals.In humans and old world simians, there are thirty-two permanent teeth, consisting of six maxillary and six mandibular molars, four maxillary and four mandibular premolars, two maxillary and two mandibular canines, four maxillary and four mandibular incisors.
