CHAPTER XIV. 
Plate XXVIII. — temporary and permanent teeth. 
Fig. 1. The gums and outer plate of the bone are removed, 
snowing the teeth of the infant, as they exist at the time of its birth; 
they are without roots, and contained in a capsule within the jaws. 
Fig. 2. In this figure, also, the outer alveolar plate of the jaws 
has been removed to show the succession of teeth. This is the 
state at six years of age. The temporary teeth are all shed between 
the ages of seven and fourteen, and are supplied by the permanent 
teeth already nearly perfectly formed, and situated at the roots of 
the former.
