2. Tooth resorption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_resorption

   Resorption of the root of the tooth, or root resorption, is the progressive loss of dentin and cementum by the action of odontoclasts. [4] Root resorption is a normal physiological process that occurs in the exfoliation of the primary dentition.

3. Tooth eruption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_eruption

   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. After the last primary tooth is shed or exfoliates out of the mouth, the teeth are in the permanent dentition stage.

4. Moebius syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moebius_syndrome

   The primary (baby) teeth generally start coming in by 6 months of age, and all 20 teeth may be in by two and a half years of age. The eruption timing varies greatly. There may be an incomplete formation of the enamel on the teeth (enamel hypoplasia) that makes the teeth more vulnerable to caries (cavities). There may be missing teeth eruptions.

5. Serial extraction - Wikipedia

   Treatment time is prolonged as the treatment is carried out in stages spread over 2–3 years; Patient has a tendency to develop tongue thrust, due to creation of extraction spaces that close gradually; Extraction of posterior teeth may lead to deepening of bite; There is a risk of arch length reduction because of mesial migration of the buccal ...

6. Tooth loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_loss

   Tooth loss is normal for deciduous teeth (baby teeth), when they are replaced by a person's adult teeth. Otherwise, losing teeth is undesirable and is the result of injury or disease, such as dental avulsion, tooth decay, and gum disease. The condition of being toothless or missing one or more teeth is called edentulism. Tooth loss has been ...

7. Tooth mobility - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_mobility

   When primary teeth are near exfoliation (shedding of primary teeth) there will inevitably be an increase in mobility. Exfoliation usually occurs between the ages of six and thirteen years. It usually starts with the lower anterior teeth (incisors); however, exfoliation times of the primary dentition can vary.
