ABSTRACT:

Abstract: Introduction: Tooth eruption is the movement of a tooth from its position in the osseous crypt into the oral cavity. Objectives of the study: The main objective of the study is to analyse the eruption of permanent teeth and its relation with BMI among local population of Pakistan. Methodology of the study: This cross sectional study was conducted in Government City Hospital Talagang during October 2018 to March 2019. The data was collected from 100 participants. Basic information such as educational level, date of birth, place of birth and family history was asked to the patients. The data was collected through a designed questionnaire. BMI was calculated by the formula given below, but first we took the height and weight of the selected participants. Results: The data was collected from 100 participants. Maxillary lateral incisor was seen to be the most delayed tooth with 51.7% delayed eruption in right max lateral incisor and 48.4% delay in the eruption of max left lateral incisor. Since the sample size was small so we cannot claim that every child will have delayed eruption in maxillary lateral incisor. 2nd premolar of the right arch was also delayed where 41.5% children had delayed eruption. Conclusion: It is concluded that almost all teeth had slight delayed eruption according to the normal eruption dates but since the sample size was small so we cannot conclude that every child in our region will have delayed eruption.
