  2. Human tooth development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth_development

    During primary dentition, the tooth buds of permanent teeth develop below the primary teeth, close to the palate or tongue. Mixed dentition starts when the first permanent molar appears in the mouth, usually at six years, and lasts until the last primary tooth is lost, usually at eleven or twelve years. [47] Permanent teeth in the maxilla erupt ...

  3. Permanent teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_teeth

    The first permanent tooth usually appears in the mouth at around 5-6 years of age, and the mouth will then be in a transition time with both primary (or deciduous dentition) teeth and permanent teeth during the mixed dentition period until the last primary tooth is lost or shed. [2]

  4. Tooth eruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_eruption

    Typically, humans have 20 primary teeth and 32 permanent teeth. [9] The dentition goes through three stages. [10] The first, known as primary dentition stage, occurs when only primary teeth are visible. Once the first permanent tooth erupts into the mouth, the teeth that are visible are in the mixed (or transitional) dentition stage.

  5. Human tooth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth

    Bottom teeth of a seven-year-old, showing primary teeth (left), a lost primary tooth (middle), and a permanent tooth (right) Tooth eruption in humans is a process in tooth development in which the teeth enter the mouth and become visible. Current research indicates that the periodontal ligaments play an important role in tooth eruption.

  6. Dental anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anatomy

    Usually, there are 20 primary ("baby") teeth and 32 permanent teeth, the last four being third molars or "wisdom teeth", each of which may or may not grow in. Among primary teeth, 10 usually are found in the maxilla (upper jaw) and the other 10 in the mandible (lower jaw). Among permanent teeth, 16 are found in the maxilla and the other 16 in ...

  7. Dentition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentition

    An animal's dentition for either deciduous or permanent teeth can thus be expressed as a dental formula, written in the form of a fraction, which can be written as I.C.P.M I.C.P.M, or I.C.P.M / I.C.P.M. [10] [11] For example, the following formulae show the deciduous and usual permanent dentition of all catarrhine primates, including humans:

  8. Occlusion (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusion_(dentistry)

    The mixed dentition stage is when both primary and permanent teeth are present. The permanent premolars erupt ~9–12 years of age, replacing the primary molars. The erupting premolars are smaller than the teeth they are replacing and this difference in space between the primary molars and their successors (1.5mm for maxillary, 2.5mm for ...

  9. Dental intrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_intrusion

    Management of intrusion depends on several factors such as whether the tooth has a closed or open apex, type of teeth (primary or permanent dentition) and how much the tooth is intruded in mm. This type of dental trauma is complex and is commonly associated with pulpal necrosis and inflammatory ankylosis.
