The purpose of this study was to present the causes and their mechanisms of eruption failure of teeth and to investigate the treatment modalities. There are so many reports about eruption failure, but most of them are dealing with local mechanical interferences. But, we have patients suffered from eruption failure of another causes. Many developmental failures show eruption problems of teeth, although in some cases, the primary failure of eruption (failure of the eruption mechanism itself) can be the primary cause. We have to know about the causes, differences, and the treatment modalities for those abnormalities.

Introduction: The aim of the current study was to describe the prevalence and treatment of mandibular first molar eruption disturbances. Methods: A total of 38 mandibular first molars(M1mn) from 36 patients(17 males and 19 females; aged 9 years 2 months?35 years 10 months) were identified from the 13,391 patients that received orthodontic treatment from 1983?2012. The subjects were classified into 3 categories based on panoramic radiographic examination: impaction due to ectopic position of the tooth germ relative to the contra-side same tooth(Group 1), impaction due to obstruction of the eruption path with cyst or calcium mass (Group 2), and primary and secondary retention due to defects in the follicle or periodontal ligament(PDL; Group 3). The treatment outcomes were evaluated into four categories: no treatment(A), orthodontic traction(B), autotransplantation(C), and extraction due to orthodontic traction failure(D). Results: The prevalence rate of M1mn eruption disturbances in this sample was 0.27%. In Groups 1 and 2, most of the impacted M1mn were erupted successfully by orthodontic traction. In Group 3, most of the retained M1mn were failed to erupt and recommended for extraction. Conclusions: Treatment prognosis was favorable on Group 1 & 2 than Group 3. After removing an element of the cause in case of Group 1 & 2, orthodontic traction or periodic observation will be recommended.

The purpose of this report is to present the cause and treatment of posterior open bite. Posterior open bite is the open bite limited to posterior teeth. These problem usually are attributed to a mechanical interference with the eruption process, either ankylosis or some soft tissue interference. But, in some patient, lateral open bite is due to a disturbance of the eruptive mechanism itself and other disease or side effect following other treatment. Distinguising cause of posterior open bite, lack of eruption due to some external interference with eruption or primary failure of eruption mechanism, is important clinically because this determines the prognosis for orthodontic treatments. The characteristics, differential diagnosis with posterior open bite due to other etiologies and the treatment of these problems are presented and discussed,.

The term 'impaction' is used to designate a tooth which remains unerupted in the jaw beyond the time at which it should normally be erupted. The main causal factors are local (lack of space, ectopic positions of teeth, supernumerary teeth, cyst, the occurrence of infectious process in the eruption path, traumatic facial injury etc.). Systemic and genetic disorders, however, may have primary failure of eruption and retarded eruption as additional symptoms (cleidocranial dysplasia, osteopetrosis etc.). Most cases of impacted teeth reported in the literature are of permanent teeth. The absence of primary teeth occur rarely whereas impaction of second primary molars is more numerous than all other impactions. Impaction due to primary failure of eruption must be distinguished from the secondary infraocclusion. The etiology of impaction of primary teeth is probably related to early ankylosis of primary teeth, but it is not clear. Failure of eruption of primary teeth may cause a number of complications, such as interference with development and eruption of succedaneous teeth, formation of cyst, and damage to adjacent teeth. This study is to report cases of primary failure of eruption in the primary dentition.

An eruption failure can be observed for child and adolescent periods when the primary dentition is changed to the permanent dentition through the mixed dentition frequently. The eruption failure can lead to miss erupting times of the tooth, then it will cause a lot of problems including root resorption, esthetic problem, transposition of adjacent tooth, malocclusoin and etc. Especially, the maxillary first molar is importantly concerned with occlusion and growth and is an essential tooth for development and maintenance of occlusion. So, it is a momentous part of more proper occlusal management to find these abnormal cases at the early stage and solve the problems. The sorts of eruption failures of the maxillary first molars can be divided into delayed eruption, impaction and the primary retention and the secondary retention. When physical obstacles cause impaction, first of all they must be removed then we can treat the impaction with observation after removal, surgical exposure or orthodontic traction. If the source of impaction is an ectopic eruption, the treatment can be a brasswire, a pendulum appliance, a space maintainer or space regainer after the extraction of the second deciduous tooth and etc. These cases are made a diagnosis of eruption failures of the maxillary first molars in mixed dentition period and have good prognosises after my treatments. So I reported them.

Orthodontic problems of the oral maxillofacial area could be classified into skeletal and dental problems. Dental problems might cause various occlusal disharmony and among them congenital missing or eruption failure might cause not only functional problems but also esthetic problems. Additional psychological problems are also one of the reasons for patients seeking treatment. In cases showing eruption failure of many teeth in the maxilla, not only occlusal and esthetic problems but also difficulty in alveolar bone maintainment could occur. Therefore, successive approach is necessary when multiple teeth show eruption problems. In this case, a patient with eruption problems of #13, 12, 11, 23, 43 was successfully treated by surgical exposure and successive orthodontic extrusion resulting perfect occlusion. By additional periodontal treatment, gingival recession that occurred along with teeth eruption was solved. The impacted right mandibular canine was erupted successfully only by natural arch expansion and leeway space without any special surgical treatment.

Delayed eruption disorders caused by systemic or local conditions are mostly found during childhood and can be treated with orthodontic forced eruption. When the disorder is not found nor treated during childhood, however, orthodontic eruption might become a difficult option while prosthodontic restoration can be considered as an another option. Considerations for the prosthodontic treatment plan include the extent of tooth loss, interdental mesio-distal space and interarch space, and age of the patient. In this case report, oral rehabilitation of the patient with delayed eruption disorder through zirconia partial fixed prostheses for both maxilla and mandible was performed.

Incidence of tooth impaction varies from 5.6 to 18.8% of the population. Failure of eruption of the first and second permanent molars is rare; the prevalence in the normal population is 0.01% in case of the first permanent molar, and 0.06% in case of the second permanent molar. Permanent molars are particularly important for providing sufficient occlusal support and co-ordinating facial growth. Failure of eruption of permanent molars may result in various complications such as decrease in vertical dimension, posterior open bite, extrusion of antagonistic teeth, resorption and inclination of adjacent teeth, formation of cyst and so on. Treatment options of impacted teeth are periodic observation, surgical exposure, surgical exposure with subluxation, orthodontic relocation, and surgical extraction before prosthetic treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment are important, because delayed treatment induces various problems such as decreased spontaneous eruptive force, decreased successful percentage, increased treatment period, increased various complications. Prevalence of the failure of mandibular first molars is rare but eruptive guidance before extraction of impacted teeth is necessary due to importance of permanent molars. We reported two cases of surgical exposure of impacted mandibular first molar. In these cases, we could observe different result of the impacted mandibular first molar after surgical exposure.

This report details a case of 8-year-old girl showing failure of odontogenesis after chemo-radiation therapy for the rhabdomyosarcoma at the age of 4. The observed results were as follows : 1. Past history revealed that she had received for a total radiation dose of 4430cGy, 29 fractions in 6 weeks and chemotherapy with vincristine, actinomycin D and cytoxan, followed as maintenance phase for 2 years. 2. The patient was symptom -free and appointed for the treatment of multiple dental caries. 3. Oral examination showed hypoplastic enamel on whole erupted permanent teeth and showed retarded eruption. 4. Conventional radiograms showed failure of root development including abrupt cessation of root formation and root agenesis, and microdontia, missing teeth, irregular enamel, dislocation of the impacted teeth. Additional finding showed good healing bone pattern on the left mandibular ramus and angle area. 5. Cephalometric analysis revealed failure of bite raising due to incomplete eruption of all the first molars and made it possible to suspect entrapped mandibular growth and then Class II tendency growth. 6. There was correlation between the time of chemo-radiation therapy and the damage of the teeth.

Eruptive disturbance of the permanent lower first molar is an uncommon condition caused by physical barriers on the eruption path or failure of the eruptive mechanism. Once eruptive disturbance of the permanent lower first molar is diagnosed. treatment should be started as soon as possible to establish a normal eruption pathway and to avoid any detrimental effects on the developing occlusion A case of primary retention of the mandibular first permanent molar treated with operculectomy and forced eruption which showed good treatment results and stability is described
