What is the sequence of eruption for the permanent maxillary teeth?
6 1 2 4 5 3 7
What is the sequence of eruption for the permanent mandibular teeth?
6 1 2 3 4 5 7
What are the characteristics of mixed dentition?
- elongation of permanent root
- resorption of primary root
- occlusal movement of permanent teeth
- growth of alveolar process
Teeth that replace primary teeth
Successional teeth
Those permanent teeth that erupt posteriorly to the primary teeth and does not follow any teeth
Accessional teeth
What are the two stages in Mixed dentition
Early and late mixed dentition
Also known as the ugly ducking phase that is prominent from ages 8-10
Flaring of upper incisors
It is a transient / self-correcting
malocclusion seen in the maxillary
incisor region between 8 - 9 years of
age
Ugly duckling stage
A phenomenon in the ugly duckling stage
Broadbent phenomenon
How to resolve the ugly duckling stage
eruption of the permanent canines
This difference between the amount of space needed
for accommodation of the incisors & the amount of space available for this is called
Incisal Liability
In the exchange of incisors which one is larger
Permanent incisors
How to overcome incisal liability
- Interdental spacing of primary incisor
- inter canine arch width growth
- Labial positioning of the permanent incisors
- Favorable size ratio between primary and permanent
incisors
Good ____ of
primary incisors allows for
better alignment of the
larger permanent incisors.
interdental spacing
increased ___
creates more room for the
permanent incisors
intercanine width
mandibular intercanine width
increases mostly during
___ eruption
permanent incisor
Permanent incisors erupt to a more labial position and are angled more labially, thereby
increasing the ___
arch length
favorable size ratio of primary and permanent incisors
Large primary and small permanent
Resolution of distal flaring
with the eruption of canine
The combined mesiodistal width of the permanent canines and pre-molars is usually less than that of the primary canines and molars. This surplus space is called
Leeway space
Leeway space in the maxilla
1.8 mm
Leeways space in the mandible
3.4 mm
What is the the difference between the sum of the mesiodistal crown widths of the primary canines and molars and that of their successors, the permanent canines and premolars?
Leeway space
present between lateral incisor and canine in upper
and canine and deciduous first molar in the lower
Primate space
