Explanation

Interproximal spaces between the primary teeth are considered normal because space is necessary for the proper alignment of the future permanent teeth. As the primary teeth gradually fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth, the interproximal spaces allow room for the larger permanent teeth to emerge in the correct position. This helps ensure that the permanent teeth align properly and reduces the likelihood of crowding or misalignment issues.

4. The primary dentition takes how long to be completed?

Explanation

The primary dentition, also known as baby teeth, takes approximately 2 to 3 years to be completed. During this time, all 20 primary teeth erupt in the mouth. This process usually begins around 6 months of age and is typically completed by the age of 3. Once the primary dentition is complete, these baby teeth will eventually be replaced by permanent teeth as the child grows.

Explanation

Calcification of primary teeth refers to the process of tooth development where the hard tissue of the tooth, known as dentin, begins to form. This process starts in utero, during pregnancy. The correct answer, 13 to 16 weeks, indicates that calcification of primary teeth begins around the 13th to 16th week of pregnancy. At this stage, the tooth buds are forming and the initial stages of dentin formation are taking place. This is an important milestone in dental development as it sets the foundation for the future eruption of primary teeth.

8. The primary tooth crowns are more_____________ at the CEJ, which makes them appear bulbous.

Explanation

The primary tooth crowns are narrower at the CEJ, which means that they have a smaller width compared to the rest of the tooth. This narrower shape at the cervical enamel junction (CEJ) gives the appearance of a bulbous shape, as the crown appears wider and more rounded towards the top.
