Abstract

Eruption of the teeth can be disturbed by crowding, ectopic eruption path, retention for pathologic condition of follicle and periodontal ligament, local disturbances in the innervation, and delayed eruption for overlying obstacles in the eruption path. Eruption disturbance of permanent posterior teeth is taken with diverse therapeutic approaches according to the patient age, cooperation of patient, tooth position and maturity, degree of impaction, clinical features, and repercussion on the neighboring teeth. However, delayed treatment usually results in less favorable outcomes. Therefore, In order to prevent this situation, periodically radiographic examinations during the early mixed dentition period and early diagnosis of eruption disturbances of permanent posterior teeth are recommended.
