Adult Dental Age Interval
The interval begins when human dental development ends and all permanent teeth have completely formed crowns and roots and continues throughout life. Note: During the adolescent and adult dental age intervals, primary teeth may be atypically retained for various reasons, including congenital absence or ectopic eruption of the permanent teeth that would typically replace them.
