Generals of Primary Dentition
Primary Dentition
* Primary teeth emerge in children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years
* Beginning at age 6 these teeth are gradually replaced by the permanent teeth
Primary Dentition
* Primary teeth are often called deciduous teeth
* From the Latin to fall off* Common nicknames are “milk teeth” or
“temporary teeth”
Primary Dentition
* The teeth function an average of 8 years for maxillary teeth
* The teeth function an average of 7.6 years for mandibular teeth
* Hold an important role in reserving space for permanent teeth
Important Functions Of Sound Primary Teeth
1) Efficient mastication of food2) Maintenance of a normal facial
appearance3) Formulation of clear speech4) Maintenance of proper diet5) Avoidance of infection and pain6) Maintenance of space and arch
continuity
Eruption Time Of Primary Dentition
* First primary teeth to erupt are usually mandibular central incisors at about 6 months
* Last teeth to erupt are the maxillary second molars around 24 months
Mixed Dentition
* First permanent teeth to erupt are the mandibular first molars and then maxillary first molars
* They appear distal to the primary second molars
* With their eruption commences the mixed dentition period
Mixed Dentition
* The roots of primary teeth are completely formed 1 year after emergence of the crown into the mouth
* The roots are short lived beginning to resorb in just three years
* After exfoliation, the permanent teeth emerge within a few months
General Characteristics Of
Primary Teeth1) Primary teeth are smaller in size than
permanent teeth2) They are whiter in color than the
analogous permanent teeth3) They are less mineralized than
permanent teeth
General Characteristics Of
Primary Teeth4) They have shorter crowns with respect to
their roots5) Crowns have a marked constriction at the
cervix6) The enamel seems to bulge close to the
cervical line, rather than gradually tapering
General Characteristics Of
Primary Teeth7) The layers of enamel and dentin are
thinner than on permanent teeth8) The pulp cavities are proportionally larger9) Primary teeth exhibit fewer anomalies10) The crowns appear bulbous, often with
labial or buccal cingula
Primary Anterior Dentition
General Characteristics
Of The Anterior Teeth
1) Usually no depressions on the labial surface of the crowns of incisors
2) There are no mamelons on the incisal edges
3) Facial cervical ridges are prominent
General Characteristics
Of The Anterior Teeth
4) Cingula are prominent and occupy 1/3 cervicoincisal length
5) The roots are long in proportion to the crown length, and narrow mesiodistally
6) The roots bend labially in their apical 1/3 to 1/2 as much as 10 degrees
Proximal Aspect Of Primary Incisors
Root Shape* The roots of maxillary incisors are S-shaped,
bending toward the lingual in the cervical third to half and then bend labially in the apical half
* The roots of mandibular incisors are straight in the cervical half and bend labially in their apical half
* This bend help provide space for the developing teeth
Primary Canines
Uniqueness of Contact Areas:* Mesial and distal contacts are in the middle
third of the crowns, with the mesial being located more cervical than the distal (a condition unique to the tooth and one other, which tooth?)
D
Primary Canines
Primary canine root:* Are bulky in the middle and cervical
thirds, tapering in the apical third where they bend labially
Primary Posterior Dentition
1) The molar crowns are wider mesiodistally, yet shorter cervico-occlusally
2) The second molars are much larger than the first molars3) The molar crowns have a narrow chewing surface4) The molar occlusal anatomy is shallow (cusps are short)5) The buccal cusp tips are not pointed and their slopes
meet at very obtuse angles
General Characteristics
Of The Posterior Teeth
6) There are few grooves or depressions in the crowns7) The root furcations are near the crown, with little or no
root trunk8) The roots are widely spread beyond the outlines of the
crown9) The roots are thin and slender10) The second molar roots are spread more widely than
the first molar roots
General Characteristics
Of The Posterior Teeth
Primary Molars
* Primary first molars are smaller than primary second molars
* Primary first molars are quite unique in their shape
* Primary second molars have considerable likeness to permanent first molars
* Maxillary molars have three roots and mandibular possess two
Primary Maxillary First Molar
Uniqueness for primary maxillary first molar:
1. Resembles a permanent premolar*2. Groove pattern is “H” shape
Primary Mandibular First Molar
Uniqueness for primary mandibular first molar:1. Resembles no other tooth in either primary
or permanent dentition*2. Two roots: Mesial and distal. With the Mesial
root wider and longer than the distal (opposite of permanent mandibular molars (in length))

Eruption and Resportion
• Eruption: Historically denotes the eruption of tooth through the gingiva
• Resorption: The permanent tooth in its follicleattempts to force its way into the position held by its predecessor
• The pressure brought to bear againstprimary root causes resorption of the rootuntil exfoliated
Dental Age• Has been assessed on the basis of the
number of teeth at each chronological age
• Calcification of the organic matrix, rootformation, and tooth eruption are important indicators of dental age
• Dentition is the single best physiologicalindicator of chronological age in juveniles
Primary Tooth Eruption Sequence
1) Central Incisors2) Lateral Incisors3) First Molars4) Canine5) Second Molars
Primary Mandibular
Incisors
• Centrals erupt at a mean age of 6 months
• Laterals erupt at a mean age of 7 months(occasionally, all lower incisors will eruptbefore the maxillary incisors)

Primary Maxillary Incisors
• Maxillary central follow mandibularcentral by mean age of 1 months and
erupt at 7 months

• Laterals erupt at a mean age of 9 months

Succedaneous Teeth (Teeth that replace a primary
predecessor)
1) Permanent Incisors2) Permanent Canines
3) Permanent Premolars
Permanent First Molar• Begin to calcify at about
the time of birth
• Emerge distal to primary second molar
• First molars are the first to erupt• Occurs at 6 years of age and are occasionally called "6-year molars"
