Abstract
A total of 18 anatomically normal human fetal specimens (16 to 26 wk old) were studied. The majority of the deciduous lateral incisors apparently develop in a rotated position during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters; most of them rotated in the lateral or mesiolabial direction. A rotational field affects both jaws simultaneously. There must be subsequent rotation operating in the reverse direction at some point between the 3rd trimester and the time of clinical emergence.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
