Tooth, Premature Loss

Definition:

Objective: Exfoliation of a primary tooth or teeth earlier than the normal range

Comments:

See ranges in Kleigman et al. [2007] and Gorlin et al. [2001]. The range of ages in years for normal exfoliation of primary teeth usually precedes the mean age of eruption of each tooth by a year or less.
