SEQUENCE OF ERUPTION

Saturday, 22 October 2022 10.19

There is wide variability in the sequence of arrival of teeth in the mouth.


Maxilla 6-1-2-4-3-5-7 or 6-1-2-4-5-3-7 (most common) Mandible 6-1-2-4-5-3-7 or 6-1-2-3-4-5-7 (

• Eruption of mandibular central incisor and permanent first molar (Fig. 5.13).

• Mandibular molar eruption precedes maxillary
molar.

Dental age 7
• Eruption of maxillary central and mandibular lateral incisor.
• Root formation of maxillary lateral incisor well advanced.
• Crown completion of canines and premolars.

Dental age 8
• Eruption of maxillary lateral incisor.
• Delay of 2-3 years before any further teeth erupt.

Dental age 9
• One-third root formation of mandibular canine and first premolar is complete.
• Root development of mandibular second premolar begins.

Dental age 10
• One-half root formation of mandibular canine and first premolar is complete.
• Significant root development of maxillary and mandibular second premolar as well as m
• Root completion of mandibular incisors and near completion of maxillary laterals.
• According to Moyers, mandibular canine erupts between 9 and 10 years.
