Deciduous teeth Deciduous teeth Deciduous teeth, commonly known as milk teeth, baby teeth and temporary teeth, are the first set of teeth in the growth development of humans and other diphyodont mammals. They develop during the embryonic stage of development and erupt—that is, they become visible in the mouth—during infancy. They are usually lost and replaced by permanent teeth, but in the absence of permanent replacements, they can remain functional for many years. Primary teeth start to form during the embryo phase of human life. The development of primary teeth starts at the sixth week of tooth development as the dental lamina.
Moyer's mixed dentition analysis mouth, and does not require any radiographic projections. Limitations of this analysis are that this is a probability analysis, does not account for tipping of incisors lingual or buccal and that maxillary tooth sizes are predicted by the mandibular tooth sizes. Other limitations of this analysis is that Moyer's never clarified which population this analysis was done on initially. Therefore, this analysis cannot be truly applied to different populations. This was confirmed by a systematic review which was performed in 2004. Moyer's mixed dentition analysis Moyer's mixed dentition analysis was created in 1971 by Robert Moyers . This an analysis
