Explore the fascinating development of human dentition with this comprehensive guide, illustrating both deciduous (baby) and permanent teeth. Learn about the arrangement of teeth in the maxilla and mandible, their typical eruption times, and their crucial roles in chewing, speech, and maintaining facial structure.

his histological section provides an exceptional visualization of a tooth in the active phase of eruption, highlighting the critical anatomical relationships between the tooth and its surrounding tissues.

This anatomical illustration provides a unique sectional view of the permanent teeth from the right side, with the external layer of bone partially removed and the maxillary sinus exposed.

The human mandibular dentition represents a marvel of evolutionary adaptation, combining form and function to facilitate mastication, speech, and facial aesthetics. The right half of the lower dental arch, when viewed from above (superior view), reveals the precise arrangement of permanent teeth, each with specialized structures optimized for specific functions. Understanding the anatomical features of the mandibular dentition is essential for dental students, oral healthcare providers, and medical professionals involved in craniofacial care and treatment planning.

The maxilla, commonly known as the upper jaw bone, is a fundamental component of facial architecture and oral function. This paired bone forms the foundation of the midface, contributing to orbital floor formation, nasal cavity structure, and dental arch support. Understanding its complex anatomy is crucial for dental professionals, maxillofacial surgeons, and medical practitioners involved in facial reconstruction and dental procedures.
