Abstract:
In the miniature pig MINI-LEWE the canines and 3rd incisors are already present at birth. Deciduous dentition is completed by the age of 3 months, and the denture consists of 28 teeth. The "replacement milk teeth" (Stehlin 1899) appear between the age of 6 and 8 months. Eruption of the permanent teeth (44 teeth altogether) is not yet over by the 24th month of life.
