Ectopic eruption - A review and case report

Abstract: Ectopic eruption is a disturbance in which the tooth does not follow its usual course. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a brief review regarding the incidence, etiology, classification and different management techniques used for correcting ectopically erupting permanent first molar. The following manuscript further presents a case report for correction of ectopically erupting mandibular left permanent f irst molar by using a simple and effective appliance by the author.

“…Space loss for the erupting permanent premolar b. Malocclusion c. Decreased arch length. 7 The premature loss of maxillary second primary molar may allow serious forward movement and tilting of the adjacent first permanent molar. Therefore when a primary second molar prematurely lost, fitting a space maintainer should be taken into consideration.…”

“…Apart from environmental factors, genetic factors are thought to play an important role [13]. However, there seems to be consensus that ectopic eruption is the result of disturbance in the balance between the rate of jaw growth, the rate of eruption of the first molars, and mean size of different teeth [8].…”

“…The factors associated with ectopic eruption are a shorter length of the maxilla, a position of the maxilla posterior to the base of the skull, and delayed calcification of the permanent molars or abnormal angulation of the eruption of the first permanent molars (3). Also, when a second temporary molar is exfoliated prematurely, there is a significant loss in the dental arch, which may cause mesialization and rotation of a permanent molar (4).…”
