Question

Identify the correct dental formula of a human child from the options below

• A. $\frac{2}{2},\frac{0}{0},\frac{1}{1},\frac{2}{2}$
• B. $\frac{2}{2},\frac{2}{2},\frac{0}{0},\frac{1}{1}$
• C. $\frac{2}{2},\frac{1}{1},\frac{0}{0},\frac{2}{2}$
• D. $\frac{2}{2},\frac{2}{2},\frac{1}{1},\frac{0}{0}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{2}{2},\frac{1}{1},\frac{0}{0},\frac{2}{2}$

In children, there are four incisors, two canines, two molars but no premolars, and they are represented as ; $\frac{2}{2},\frac{1}{1},\frac{0}{0},\frac{2}{2}=\frac{5}{5}=\frac{10}{10}=20.$
