Up to thirteen years of age, 28 of the 32 permanent teeth will appear. The full permanent dentition is completed much later during the permanent dentition period. [3] The four last permanent teeth, the third molars, usually appear between the ages of 17 and 21 years; they are considered wisdom teeth. [4]
At that time, the first permanent tooth erupts. This stage, during which a person has a combination of primary and permanent teeth, is known as the mixed stage. The mixed stage lasts until the last primary tooth is lost and the remaining permanent teeth erupt into the mouth. There have been many theories about the cause of tooth eruption.
Children with a full set of deciduous teeth (primary teeth) also have eight incisors, named the same way as in permanent teeth. Young children may have from zero to eight incisors depending on the stage of their tooth eruption and tooth development. Typically, the mandibular central incisors erupt first, followed by the maxillary central ...

For human teeth to have a healthy oral environment, enamel, dentin, cementum, and the periodontium must all develop during appropriate stages of fetal development. Primary (baby) teeth start to form between the sixth and eighth weeks in utero , and permanent teeth begin to form in the twentieth week in utero. [ 1 ]
Typically, humans have 20 primary teeth and 32 permanent teeth. [9] The dentition goes through three stages. [10] The first, known as primary dentition stage, occurs when only primary teeth are visible. Once the first permanent tooth erupts into the mouth, the teeth that are visible are in the mixed (or transitional) dentition stage.
