A schematic model of a single-rooted tooth: its shapes, sizes and timing are simplified and not to scale. It illustrates the stages of natural development; it does not simulate tooth regrowth or predict whether or when any approach will work. Where each approach joins is a simplified reading of how it is designed; the evidence counts come from this site’s sources library.
