Spontaneous Eruption of Premolar Associated with a Dentigerous Cyst

Table 1

Factors related to spontaneous eruption of premolars associated with DC.

Factors analyzedHyomoto et al., 2003 [10]Fujii et al., 2008 [11]Yahara et al., 2009 [12]

AgeThe smaller, the greater the chances of eruptionUnder 10 years oldMean age 9.8 years
Depth of inclusion4.4 mmSmaller than 5.1 mmThe smaller, the greater the chances of eruption
Angulation of tooth20.4° ± Smaller than Close to
Space present for eruptionDoes not influenceLarger than 1 cm Does not influence
Rhizogenesis1/2IncompleteDoes not influence

According to Hyomoto et al. [10] and Fujii et al. [11], it is considered the angle formed between the line that passes through the long axis of the included tooth and the plane bisecting the long axes of the neighboring teeth. The depth is considered as from the cementoenamel junction.
According to Yahara et al. [12], it is the measurement of the angle formed between the line that crosses the long axis of the tooth involved and the line that passes through the cementoenamel junction of the neighboring teeth.
