Deciduous dentition eruption sequence of the laboratory-reared chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)

J Med Primatol. 1991 May;20(3):138-9.

Abstract

Eruption sequence and age ranges for the maxillary and mandibular deciduous dentition were generated from serial dental study models from 28 laboratory-reared chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). These data can serve as additional normative, baseline information for the evaluation of fetal insults on neonatal growth and development in the laboratory-reared chimpanzee.
