- B. Primary canines & second molars
- C. Primary incisors & first molar
- D. Permanent 3rd molarOrder DNA Kits
Explanation: At birth, the crowns of the primary incisors and primary first molars are already undergoing calcification.
Correct answer: Primary incisors & first molar- A. 13½ years
- B. 11½ years
- C. 4½ years
- D. 8½ years
Explanation: Around 8½ years, the four first permanent molars and eight permanent incisors are present, while the deciduous canines and molars remain…
Correct answer: 8½ years- A. 7-10 years
- B. 3-6 years
- C. 11-14 years
- D. 15- 18 years

Correct answer: 7-10 years- A. Mandibular central incisor
- B. Maxillary central incisor
- C. Mandibular first molar
- D. Maxillary first molarAccess Clinical Journals

- C. Central incisors, lateral incisors, first molars canines, second molars
- D. Central incisors, lateral incisors, first molars second molars, canines
Explanation: The usual primary eruption sequence is central incisors, lateral incisors, first molars, canines, and second molars.
Correct answer: Central incisors, lateral incisors, first molars canines, second molars- A. At birth
- B. In the sixth month of intrauterine life
- C. Third month of intrauterine life
- D. In the third month of extra uterine lifeOrder DNA Kits
Explanation: Calcification of the permanent first molar begins at birth, whereas its eruption occurs around six years of age.
Correct answer: At birth- A. Maxillary second molar
- B. Maxillary canine
- C. Mandibular second molar
- D. Mandibular canine
Explanation: The maxillary canine is usually the last primary tooth to be replaced, at approximately 11 to 12 years.
Correct answer: Maxillary canine- A. Normal process of growth
- B. Eruption of teeth
- C. Lengthening of the condyle
- D. Overall growth of the bodies of the maxilla and the mandible
