Abstract
Eruption is a kind of development move of tooth from the place of its formation to its functional position in the mouth.Time and sequence of permanent's teeth eruption from the point of health diagnosis and orthodontic treatments is very important.Because of this, we decided to evaluate and determine the mean eruption time of canine and premolars from gum penetrations toward occlusion and also their sequence of eruption.The average time of eruptions in this study was higher than other similar studies.Our findings showed that the mean eruption time of canine and premolars in girls is earlier than boys lower canines erupt earlier than upper ones and maxillary premolars erupt before mandibular premolars in boys.
