TEETH DEVELOPMENT

ABRAR SHERIF,MD
TOOTH DEVELOPMENT
• Historically the term eruption has been used to denote emergence of
the tooth through the gingiva .
• Calcification or mineralization (most often visualized radio
graphically) of the organic matrix of a tooth, root formation, and
tooth eruption are important indicators of dental age.
• Dental age can reflect an assessment of physiologic age comparable
to age based on skeletal development.
