FIGURE 10. Computed tomography of the right and left maxillae (A-B, respectively) are displayed in coronal (upper) and sagittal (lower) cross sections; the left premaxilla (C) is shown in sagittal (left) and coronal (right) cross sections. The unerupted teeth (ii=first unerupted tooth) of the maxilla (D; left) and premaxilla (D; right) were segmented for 3D rapid prototyping. Note: proceeding caudally, the number of unerupted teeth in the maxilla declines from 5 (ii-vi) to 2 (ii-iii).

FIGURE 11. Computed tomography of the right dentary is displayed in coronal (left) and sagittal (right cross section, illustrating the presence of 1-2 unerupted teeth per alveolar position. The unerupted teeth were segmented for 3D rapid prototyping (lower left).
