Abstract:
Result from a cross-sectional study on schoolchildren (aged 7 to 15 years) from Jena will be represented the intercorrelations between the dental age and choice developmental criteria. Moreover we investigated the influence of a social factor (rank among siblings of the family) to the level of development of the teeth. It can be shown that the dental age is relatively independent of the level of physical development of children, but there is a rather strictly correlation with chronological age. It makes demands for an interdisciplinary investigation, to get differentiate insights into ontogenetical processes of growth and development especially in children and youth.

Teeth
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...
Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
