CONTACT.
AMOUNT OF ROOT RESORPTION OF
PRIMARY TOOTH IS DIRECTELY
PROPORTIONAL TO THE AMOUNT OF
DEVELOPMENT OF PERMANENT TEETH.
CALCIFICATION OR MINERALIZATION OF
THE ORGANIC MATRIX OF A
TOOTH,ROOT FORMATION,AND TOOTH
ERUPTION ARE IMPORTANT INDICATORS
OF DENTAL AGE.

LEE-WAY SPACE OF NANCe

-IT IS DEFINED AS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN MESIO-DISTAL WIDTH OF
DECIDUOUS 1ST - 2ND MOLARS AND
PERMANENT SUCCESSORS i.e. 1st -2nd
premolars.
-permanent premolars occupy the space
between permanent canine and
permanent 1st molar. the MESIO-DISTAL
WIDTH of permanent 1st -2nd premolars
will be less than MESIO-DISTAL WIDTH OF
DECIDUOUS 1ST - 2ND MOLARS.
-it is approximately 47mm-42.2mm=4.8mm

Significance
1) Clinicians use chronology to avoid treatment that can
damage developing teeth.
2) To assess an unknown age of a patient(forensic
odontology).
3) To assess growth.
4) Due to a developmental anomaly sometimes deciduous
tooth wont shed off or permanent tooth bud is absent,
at that time deciduous tooth itself is considered to be a
permanent one.
5) Delayed shedding impairs growth of permanent
successors leading to crowding of the teeth and
misalignment of permanent teeth for which the
individual has to go for a orthodontic treatment.
