In order to evaluate the normal eruption time of the Korean permanennt teeth, the author had examined the eruption phases of permanent first molars in 778 males and 653 female children aged from 5 to 9-year old and analysed. The eruption was divided into 4 phases; the tip of the crown can be seen, the dull occlusal surface of the crown can be easily seen, the crown is not in contact with its antagonist, and the crown is in contact with its antagonist. The obtained results were as follows : 1. It seemed that percentage of the eruptingand erupted permanent first molar in female by age was higher than that of male. 2. In general, percentage of the erupting and erupted permanent first molar by age was higher than that of upper first molar. 3. In the correlation of age with the eruption phase, the regression equation were "y=0.43x+5.61" on male upper first molar, "y=0.41x+5.60" on male lower first molar, "y=0.44x+5.47" on female upper first molar, and "y=0.38x+5.57" on female lower first molar respectively.n female lower first molar respectively.

This study was designed to recognize the factors which can affect the normal eruption of the lower third molar and the eruption rate of the lower third molar in the cases of non-extraction and the extraction of first premolar. The sample consisted of 214 cases of extraction of first premolar and 119 cases of non-extraction, and all of these cases were divided into erupted and impacted lower third molar groups and were analized according to the pantomogram. The results of the study were as follows : 1. The eruption rate of the touter third molar was $54.67\%$ in the group of extraction of the first premolar and $35.29\%$ in the non-extraction group. 2. The early inclination of the erupting lower third molar has significant effect in the eruption of it. 3. In the orthodontic treatment, the extraction of first premolar is one of the factors infuencing the nomal eruption of lower third molar. 4. The available space for the normal enruption of lower third molar was greater in first premolar extraction case than in non-extraction case.

This study was undertaken to obtain the data age determination following the eruption of individual cusps of the first molars in the point of forensic odontology. 532 children (294 male and 238 female, born between April, 1989 and March, 1986) from a kindergarten and a primary school in a reesidential district in Seoul were studied. The eruption state of the first molar was divides into 6 stages according to the degree of exposure of individual cusps, and correlation between the stage and age was stastically analysed. The results of the study lead to following conclusions : 1. The most frequently seen eruption sequence of cusps for the upper first molar was mesibuccal cusp, mesiopalatal cusp, distobuccal cusp, mesiodistal cusp, distopalatal cusp. As for the lower first molar : mesiobuccal cusp, mcsiolingual cusp, distobuccal cusp, distolingual cusp. 2. The time of eruption was earlier in the female ethan in the male, but it was stastically remarkable only in upper and lower parts of the right and the left teeth of subjects age between 6.0 and 6.5 and upper part of the right and the left teeth of subjects age over 7.5 3. The eruption of the lower first molar was comparatively earlier than that of the upper first molar and there was no significant stastical difference between the right and the left first molars in the time of eruption. 4. There was no noticeable difference in the eruption sequence of cusps, irrespective of sex and side. 5. The eruption of the upper first molar is started at the age of about 6.4 and complete the age of about 7.1 and as for the lower first molar, it is from 6.3 to 7.0

Ectopic eruption of the permanent first molar is defined as the eruption of the tooth in an abnormal position or orientation. It may causes distal root resorption and premature exfoliation of the adjacent primary second molar and uncontrolled space loss is followed. Prolonged partial impaction of the permanent molar may also cause undetected caries or abscess formation of the neighbor teeth. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief review regarding the etiology, classification, and different management techniques for correcting ectopic eruption of permanent first molar.

Tooth eruption involves a complex developmental process of tooth migration from the dental follicular origin to the final occlusion position in the oral cavity via the alveolar process. Disturbance of tooth eruption can occur at any point in a series of eruption stages; however, horizontal impaction of the mandibular first molar and primary retention of the primary mandibular second molar are rarely observed simultaneously. This study describes the treatment for two cases of horizontally impacted first molar with primary retention of primary molar. The primary retention of the primary mandibular second molar was extracted, and orthodontic traction was applied to the horizontally impacted primary mandibular first molar. Subsequently, displacement of the premolar tooth bud was improved and space regaining for eruption was achieved, guiding to normal eruption of the first molar.

To study the eruption pattern of the mandibular first permanent molar, the author took 263 cases of Oblique Cephalogram from age 3 to 6 years old children and observed the vertical and mesiodistal directional change and tooth axis change. The following results were obtained.; 1. The eruption pattern of the mandibular first permanenl molar was changed at about 60~66 months or calcification stage IX. 2. At the early stage, the path of eruption of the mandibular first permanent molar directed upward and forward and after calcification stage IX it changed to the direction of upward. 3. The height of the alveolar bone of the upper part of the mandibular first permanent molar was almost equal to that of the interseptal bone of the first and second deciduous molar, but the height showed gradual descent afterwards. 4. At the early stage, the distance from the distal end of the mandibular second deciduous molar to the anterior portion of the ascending ramus was 1.2~1.4 times larger than the mesio-distal diameter of the mandibular first permanent molar, but at the later stage it was enlarged 1.7~1.9 times larger than the mesiodistal diameter of the mandibular first permanent molar.

In order to provide a diagnostic basis for predicting the possibility of the self-correction of ectopic first permanent molars, differences among normal eruption, reversible and irreversible ectopic eruption of maxillary first permanent molars were retrospectively analyzed. The angles of the long axes and the occlusal lines between the maxillary first permanent molar and the adjacent tooth were measured by panoramic radiographs. The occlusal relationship of second primary molars was also investigated. There is a statistically significant difference between the ectopic eruption group and normal group (p < 0.05), but not between the reversible and irreversible ectopic eruption groups (p > 0.05). The angles between the second primary molar and the first permanent molar, the second primary molar and the second permanent molar in ectopic groups showed a smaller degree than those of the control group. Mesial step was found more frequently in the ectopic eruption group than the normal group. In conclusion, the angulation of the first permanent molar and tooth germ of the maxillary second permanent molar showed close relation with ectopic eruption of the maxillary first permanent molar and ectopic first permanent molar is likely to occur in class III patients with maxillary deficiency.

Ectopic eruption is defined as abnormal eruption and results in malpositioned teeth and abnormal root resorption of adjacent teeth. Ectopic eruption, first reported by Chapman, occurs in 3% of the population and that mostly in the maxilla. Etiologic factors include narrow maxilla, large maxillary teeth, retarded calcification of the first molar, inclined eruption path of the first molar and retruded position of the maxilla. Impaction of the second molar is rare and occurs mostly in the mandible. Major causes are large teeth and insufficient arch length. Halterman has devised a method of distalizing a ectopically erupting first molar by cementing a band on the second deciduous molar with a hook soldered and a button bonded to the occlusal surface of the first permanent molar. Ectopically erupted posterior teeth should be treated early to maintain normal development of the dentition, harmony of facial growth and occlusal support, a failure to do so could result in severe malocclusion, periodontal damage and continued root resorption of the adjacent teeth. Early detection and treatment is thus vital. The author is submitting this report as he has obtained favorable results in treating a patient who came to the SNUDH Dept. of Pediatric Dentistry complaining of the first molar by using a modified Halterman appliance.

Ectopic eruption is caused by an abnormal direction of eruptive path, most common in maxillary first molar, mandibular lateral incisor, and maxillary canine, and sometimes mandibular first molar. Ectopic eruption of first molar leads to abnormal root resorption of second deciduous molar, which, if left untreated, could cause premature loss of second deciduous molar; mesial tilting and rotation of first permanent molar; lack of space for eruption of second premolar; and occlusal problems. Therefore early treatment is advised when diagnosed as ectopic eruption. Treatment of ectopic eruption in the first permanent molar involves providing proper guidance for the direction of eruption using interproximal wedging and distal tipping methods while preserving second deciduous molar. This case report shows satisfactory results of the ectopic eruption of mandibular first molars in young patients who were treated with Humphrey appliance and Halterman appliance.

Ectopic eruption of the maxillary first permanent molar means that the molar erupts out of the normal position and is arrested in its eruption by the second primary molar. This local eruption disturbance results in a premature atypical resorption on the distal part of the second primary molar. In most irreversible cases, the second primary molar is lost prematurely, either by spontaneous exfoliation or by extraction, In cases of doubt as to whether the eruption is of the irreversible type or not, careful radiographic observation period for a few months would be valuable in evaluating the possibilities of the tooth's freeing itself. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and occurrence of the ectopic eruption of the maxillary first permanent molar. A descriptive, observational, retrospective study was done using the radiographs of 25 conseutive patients, who were in the first phase of mixed dentition. A method was designed to evaluate the amount of pathologic resorption of the second maxillary primary molar and the mesial angulation of the first permanent molar. The study showed that the most important etiologic factor was the eruption path or mesial angulation of the first permanent molars relative the chosen reference lines.
