Abstract:
It is estimated that 4.3% of patients experience delayed eruption of permanent teeth due to local causes. Mandibular second premolars were the most frequent permanent teeth associated with delayed eruption, followed by maxillary canines, and maxillary central incisors. While rare, unerupted permanent teeth should be treated promptly to avoid potential impacts on future function, esthetics, confidence, mental health, and pronunciation. For this reason, parents often seek dental examinations and treatment for their children. Delayed tooth eruption (DTE) can also affect treatment planning and orthodontic timing. This report presents three cases of unerupted teeth. All cases were treated with a simple excision of overlying tissue to expose the crown using either a scalpel or electrocautery. Two of three lesion diagnosis was confirmed by Histopathology anatomy (HPA). In all cases, the involved teeth spontaneously erupted immediately following treatment, providing good aesthetics. However, one case experienced complications due to allergies during the wound healing process. In conclusion, proper diagnosis and treatment of DTE, including consideration of developmental disturbance factors, can help ensure normal eruption patterns and satisfactory aesthetic results.
