THE DECIDUOUS DENTITION;INTRODUCTION;The word deciduous comes from a Latin word meaning to fall off. Deciduous teeth fall off or are shed like leaves from a deciduous tree. ; The deciduous, primary, or, as they often referred to colloquially, (MILK) teeth, have a relatively short life-span before they exfoliated to be replaced by the permanent teeth. This usually occurs between the ages of 6 and13 years. ;They are as follows, in order of position from the midline: A-First (central) incisor. B-Second (lateral) incisor. C- Canine. D-First molar. ;The shorthand formula for the deciduous teeth is as follows: I 2 C 1 M2 =10;GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS;The deciduous teeth generally have several important differences in morphology, composition, size colour as listed below: 1-The deciduous teeth are smaller than the permanent teeth. ;2-The enamel of the deciduous teeth is whiter and more opaque, which gives the crown a lighter colour than that of the permanent teeth. 3-The enamel of the deciduous teeth is more permeable and more easily worn down. The degree of permeability is lessened after the start of root resorption. ;4-The DEPTH OF ENAMEL is more consistent and thinner than in the permanent teeth, being from 0.5mm to 1.00mm thick. ;5- Deciduous teeth have a pronounced cervical margin. The enamel bulges, instead of tapering gently, at the cemento-enaml junction, which is straighter than in the permanent teeth. This cervical bulge is accentuated in the mesiobuccal area of deciduous molars. ;6-In newly erupted deciduous teeth, the cusps tend to be more pointed. ;7-The roots of the deciduous teeth are shorter, less strong and lighter in colour than those of the permanent teeth. ;8-The roots of anterior deciduous teeth are longer in proportion to the crown. The roots of posterior teeth are more divergent to allow for the developing permanent successor. They flare out from each other wider than the crown measurement ,and form a minimal common root trunk
