The shedding of the temporary molars favours such accidents, and this is why actinomycosis of the jaw is, relatively, so common. The incisor region may also be inoculated during the shedding of the milk teeth, but as the infected food comes more closely and for much longer periods in contact with the molars, it is easy to understand why actinomycosis is rarer in the incisor region. The conditions are less favourable for inoculation of the pharynx, because food does not remain in position there for more than a.
