Abstract:
This paper presents a case of extreme tooth variation. The patient was first observed during the mixed dentition period, when she presented a mild Class II malocclusion with increased overjet and acceptable overbite. In a panoramic radiograph, the presence of lower second premolars of disproportionate dimensions was discovered. When these oversized premolars erupted, the Class I malocclusion tended toward Class III, with an edge-to-edge bite. This created an unstable occlusion and the possible need for extractions.

In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
