There may be missing teeth eruptions.

Based on teeth eruption pattern, the researchers think that H. antecessor had the same development stages as H. sapiens, though probably at a faster pace.

Dental caries, periapical inflammation and tooth loss in the deciduous teeth alter the correct permanent teeth eruptions.

To find out when primary teeth begin to appear, see the primary eruption illustration and the Teeth Eruption Charts.

The permanent teeth replacements develop from the same teeth buds as the deciduous teeth, which provide guides for permanent teeth eruptions.
