Detailed explanation-1: -Comprised of 20 teeth, they are labeled based on an alphabetical system rather than the numbering system used for permanent teeth. The primary teeth are organized in two arches: the maxillary (upper) arch and the mandibular (lower) arch.[1]
Detailed explanation-2: -The teeth are arranged in the mouth in 2 arches that contain 2 quadrants each (16 teeth in each arch, 8 teeth in each quadrant in the permanent dentition).
