Fully developed deciduous dentition
The model shows a fully developed deciduous (primary) dentition, in which each jaw half consists of 2
incisors, one canine tooth and two molars, comprising a total of 20 teeth. The adjoining dental buds of
the permanent teeth are also shown (light blue). The permanent dentition comprises a total of 32 teeth:
each jaw half consists of two incisors, one canine, two bicuspids and three molars. The eruption of the
milk teeth (deciduous dentition) begins with the incisors, followed by the first molar, the canine and finally
the second molar. During the transition to the permanent dentition, the first tooth that appears is the first
permanent molar, followed by the first incisor. Then the second incisor, the first bicuspid, the canine, the
second bicuspid and the second and third molars erupt.
