Abstract

A cross-sectional, descriptive and epidemiologic study was conducted of the
permanent dentition of children from Santa Clara municipality from 2005 to 2009 to
determine the emergence order of permanent dentition. Universe included 45 724
infants of both sexes aged between 4 and 14. Sample included 1 769 subjects.
There were emergence percentiles and from the 50 percentile the order was
established. The teeth for each eruptive group were compared and symmetry was
studied, establishing the emergence order. There were order differences between
both sexes, hemiarcades and with the tables from other authors. The more
symmetric teeth were the incisives and the first molars. We conclude that not
always the lower teeth erupt before the upper ones, the incisives and first molars
are the more symmetric in eruption. The first erupted permanent tooth may be the
lower central incisive or the first lower molar. The more frequent situation is that
the upper and lower canines erupt after the first bicuspids.
