During a period of five or six months from the cutting of the fourth molar there is nothing to guide the examiner except the growth of the teeth and of the jaw, which results in leaving a space behind the fourth molar. At the age of nine months this space is occupied by the fifth molar, as shown in the drawing above (Fig. 13)..
