[Recognizing and preventing disturbances in eruption]

Abstract

Disturbances in eruption and related problems are quite common in permanent dentition but rare in deciduous dentition. For the timely recognition of disturbances in eruption, knowledge of the normal development of dentition is essential. Disturbances in eruption comprise disturbances in which eruption does not occur at all, in which it is delayed or incomplete, or in which the normal direction of eruption is influenced. If identified early enough, many undesirable dental conditions can be avoided or their seriousness can be limited. A possible impacting of permanent cuspids, for example, can be avoided by extracting the deciduous cuspids at the right moment; in cases of a large overjet or the threat of a cover-bite, lip interference can be prevented.
