Dissected Superior and Inferior Maxillary Bones

This specimen of dissection shows arrested development of the permanent teeth and is almost certainly the student piece Dr. Frederic A. Merrill created as part of the requirements for graduation and then deposited in the Dental Museum.

The specimen is of dissected superior and inferior maxillary nones showing arrested development of permanent tooth germs, natural absorption of roots of temporary centrals. Also a few examples of extracted permanent teeth with arrested development-(showing 6 teeth). These specimens are mounted in glass globe.
