Abstract

ALZATE-GARCIA, Flor de Luna et al. Chronology and sequence of tooth eruption in the first transitional period. CES odontol. [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.1, pp.57-69. ISSN 0120-971X.

The changes that occurred in the craniofacial growth and the occlusion development between 6 and 9 years old are crucial for achieving a favorable occlusion due in a great percentage to tooth eruption, being this process a director of the stimulus in the maxillary bones during these ages. It is essential that the general dentist, pedodontist and orthodontist know the changes that occur in this period because these are the adequate ages to prevent and intercept some malocclusions. The objective of this review was to examine the timing and sequence of eruption in the first transitional period in mixed dentition. In this review, we present an analysis of several national and international studies in order to show a better understanding of the multiple factors that can modify the dental eruption process.
