OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to compare the beginning of eruption of the first deciduous tooth in preterm infants (<38 weeks) with full-term infants (38 and 42 weeks) of normal birth weight ((3)2.500g), low birth weight (< 2.500g) and very low birth weight (<1.500g), in order to evaluate if premature birth and low birth weight would affect tooth eruption. METHODS The neonatal re...

AIM This was to assess the predictability of eruption of delayed permanent incisors after supernumerary removal and creation of adequate space, in relation to: root maturity, degree of vertical impaction, and degree of angulation of impaction. METHODS The dental records of children with supernumerary teeth delaying the eruption of permanent incisors were analysed. The type of a supernumerary ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this project was to establish median eruption ages of primary teeth and evaluate eruption differences between contralateral teeth by gender, ethnicity, and household income. Data was derived from a caries study of preschool children. METHODS A total of 4,277 white (non-Hispanic) and Hispanic preschool children from Arizona were visually examined for caries and tooth eru...

Tooth eruption is a complex and tightly regulated process that involves cells of the tooth organ and the surrounding alveolus. Mononuclear cells (osteoclast precursors) must be recruited into the dental follicle prior to the onset of eruption. These cells, in turn, fuse to form osteoclasts that resorb alveolar bone, forming an eruption pathway for the tooth to exit its bony crypt. Some of the m...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of the initial vertical position of impacted maxillary incisor on spontaneous eruption frequency and its timing after surgical removal of the supernumerary tooth. Material And Methods: 44 patients with unilateral impaction of maxillary permanent central incisor with an average age of 10.5 years were studied for spontaneous eruption of impacted tooth. Orthopa...

This case report demonstrates sequential periodontic, orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment modalities to save and restore deep horizontally fractured maxillary central incisor. The location of fracture was deep in the mucosa which reveals less than 2 mm of tooth structure to receive the crown. The procedures like surgical crown lengthening, endodontic post placement, orthodontic forced erupt...

The process of tooth eruption is very complex, and many of its factors remain unknown. Although radiographic features can provide clues into the eruptive potential of a tooth, underlying factors that affect tooth development and eruption are not as well defined, ranging from local disturbances to systemic disease. In addition, it is difficult to predict which teeth will require treatment and wh...

OBJECTIVE Many symptoms are attributed to teething in infants. There is little evidence to support these beliefs, despite their implications for clinical management. We investigated relationships between tooth eruption, fever, and teething symptoms. METHODS Prospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-one children 6 to 24 months old attending 3 suburban long-day care centers >/=3 days/week...
