Abstract

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 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.
