Early detection and treatment of eruption problems

1. Phases of Tooth Eruption

2. Mechanisms of Eruptive Tooth Movement

3. Permanent teeth eruption

- Factors That Can Disturb Tooth Eruption

4.Types of Eruption Disturbance

4.1 Disruptions in timing

• Delayed tooth eruption

- Etiology

- Diagnosis

- Treatment

• Early exfoliation of primary teeth and premature eruption of permanent teeth

- Etiology

• Failure of eruption (PFE and secondary failure of eruption)

- Etiology

- Treatment

• Retarded tooth development

• Abnormal sequence of eruption

- Eruption of the second molars before the premolars

- Eruption of the maxillary canines before the premolars

- Eruption of the mandibular first premolars before the canines

- Eruption of the maxillary canines before the first premolars

- Eruption of the maxillary second molars before the mandibular second molars

- Eruption of the maxillary lateral incisors before the central incisors

- Asymmetric eruption in the left and right sides of the arch

4.2 Disruptions in position are:

• Ectopic eruption

- Prevalence

- Etiology

- Treatment

- Distalization appliances

• Transposition

- Classification

- Incindence

- Etiology

- Diagnosis

- Treatment

• Impaction

Maxillary canine impactation

- Incidence

- Ethiology

- Diagnosis

- Treatment

Mandibular canine impactation

• Ankylosis

- Incidence

- Etiology
