“…Generally, the mean eruption time for female infants was less than that of the male ones. Agarwal et al (19) found that for the same age group, males had late dental eruption, in support of the earlier findings (20).…”

Background: Pattern of tooth eruption (TE) may vary in different communities and may be affected by many factors. It also may cause nutritional problems in infants and anxiety in parents. The current study aimed at investigating the relationship between birth weight and other factors contributing to the time of the first TE. Methods: The current study employed the multistage sampling method to select 126 infants admitted to the health centers of Hamadan, Iran. Health records of infants were listed and relevant information was collected using a questionnaire and interviewing the parents. The tooth emergence was considered as TE in the current study. Finally, the recruited infants were examined for the eruption of the first primary tooth. Descriptive, linear, and the curve regression tests were used with SPSS version 16. Results: Despite the significant differences in weight and height between male and female infants, no significant relationship was observed between time of the first primary TE and most of the studied variables. Height, feeding with formula, family income, and mother's age had inverse effects on TE time. Infants who were fed with synthetic formula milk had earlier TE. Eruption sign and infant height had the most effects on delayed TE. Conclusions: No significant relationship was observed between the eruption time of the first primary tooth and the studied variables. Nevertheless, there was a significant association between the infant's height and time of the first primary TE.

“…Table 1 summarizes ages at the end of the first and second phases of the mixed dentition in different populations. The largest difference in the ending of both the first and second phase of mixed dentition was between Ugandan 6 and Iranian 7 girls, 1.6 and 1.7 years, respectively. Permanent teeth have been noticed to erupt earlier in African children than in those of white origin.…”

Objective: To examine the expression of possible secular trend in timing of the emergence of permanent teeth in Finnish children over the past few decades, considering the differences between genders. Materials and Methods: Two age groups of Finnish children, one born in 1976–1985 (group 1980) and the other born in 1999–2002 (group 2000), were examined. Group 2000 comprised 483 children (235 girls and 248 boys) aged 6.4 to 8.5 years at the time of the examination, and the same children were examined at the age of 9.0 to 11.8 years. Altogether 405 children could be recalled, 196 girls and 209 boys. For comparison, matching age groups were selected from the group 1980 data (n = 1579), resulting in a sample of 312 children (155 girls and 157 boys) aged 6.4 to 8.5 years and 393 children aged 9.0 to 11.8 years. The emergence stage of each permanent tooth was determined clinically (Grades 0–3), based on which the subjects were furthermore divided according to the emergence stage of the dentition. Results: Linear regression models showed that the permanent teeth of the first phase of the mixed dentition erupted earlier in group 2000 than in group1980, but the teeth of the second phase of the mixed dentition erupted later in group 2000. Girls showed more advanced tooth eruption than boys. Conclusion: The longer duration of mixed dentition in group 2000 than in group 1980 makes the duration of combined follow-up and active treatment longer, and should be considered in timing of efficient orthodontic treatment.

“…23 However, our results are consistent with the study carried out by Kutesa et al (2013), who found no significant differences in the eruption times between teeth in the right and left side of the jaw. 1 In our study, age of study population ranged from 5 -15 years, of which 8-11 years was the most frequent range in age group. Age of subjects of present study is consistent with previous study reported by Dahiya .…”

“…1,2 Exfoliation of primary teeth and in turn the eruption of new teeth, is a constant age-related progression by which the teeth arise through the upper and lower jaws and the overlaying mucosa to enter into the oral cavity and in turn occlude with the teeth of the opposite arch. [1][2][3] The permanent teeth usually emerge between the ages of 6 -14 years, not including the 3rd molars that usually are seen emerging at the ages of 17-21 years. 4,5 As teeth are the most stable structures in the human body, it can be of paramount importance in forensic medicine where estimation of age is usually required for criminal investigations and also in persons who do not have proper birth certificates whether above or below 18 years of age.…”

ABSTRACT:Objectives of the present study was to find out the assessment of eruption of permanent teeth according to age and its relation with body mass index in local population. Three hundred School children were included in this study. The study was conducted from 1st March to 31st May 2016. The schools selected for research were Pak Turk International School (Isra University), Isra School (Hadi Nagar) and Government primary School, Village Haji Ismail Khan Chand (Hala Naka). Data was collected by measuring the height, weight and oral examination of each child. The height and weight were later used to calculate the child's B.M.I. A sample of 300 children was studied; 100 each of different socioeconomic school. The Mean age and standard deviation was 9.86 ± 2.057 years respectively. Frequency of male to female subjects remained 150 (50%) and 150 (50%) respectively. Age category was from 5 to 15 years of age. It was seen that children were mostly in the normal weight category other than children of age 8 & 10 where underweight children were seen in excess. It was found that almost all teeth had slight delayed eruption according to the normal eruption time but since the sample size was not big enough therefore we cannot conclude that every child in our region will have delayed eruption. In our sample the highest variation was seen in mandibular left second molar where delayed eruption was present. KEY WORDS: B.M.I., eruption, permanent teeth, socioeconomic status, age HOW TO CITE: Hassan S, Shahid H. Assesment of eruption of permanent teeth according to age and its relation with body mass index in local population.
