    This document discusses the differences between temporary and permanent dentition. It notes that the temporary dentition, also called the deciduous teeth, consists of four incisors, two canines, and four molars in both the upper and lower jaws. The temporary teeth are smaller with narrower chewing surfaces, less thickness, broader contacts between teeth, lighter color, more extensive pulp horns, converging roots, and longer, narrower roots compared to the permanent dentition. The temporary teeth stimulate jaw growth and keep space for the permanent teeth.
