This document discusses the chronology and emergence patterns of primary and permanent teeth. It defines chronology as the study of the timing of tooth development from initiation to emergence and completion. It outlines the typical sequence of primary tooth emergence and the mixed dentition period between primary and permanent teeth. The chronology of permanent teeth is from ages 6 to 25 years if third molars are included. Understanding chronology is important for avoiding damage to developing teeth during treatment and for assessing growth or unknown ages.
