Primary Failure of Eruption
- Coined by William Proffit and Katherine Vig in 1981.
- Prevalence of PFE is approximately 0.06% in the population.
- Teeth affected by PFE do not have a precursor tooth blocking their path.
- Posterior teeth are primarily affected, along with the teeth distal to the affected tooth.
- Both primary and permanent teeth can be affected, leading to a posterior open bite.
- Management options include extractions of affected teeth.
- Orthodontic space closure or prosthetic implant with a bone graft can be considered for a single affected tooth.
- Segmental osteotomy may be performed if multiple teeth are affected.
- However, minimal success has been shown following these procedures.
- Teeth affected by PFE are non-responsive to orthodontic force and may experience ankylosis if force is applied.
Mechanical Failure of Eruption
- Occurs when the affected tooth is ankylosed to the surrounding bone.
- Teeth distal to the affected tooth do not exhibit ankylosis.
- A tooth with mechanical failure of eruption produces a dull metallic sound on a percussion test.
Eruption Failure Related to Syndrome
- Syndromes associated with failure of tooth eruption include Cleidocranial dysplasia, Osteoporosis, Rutherford syndrome, GAPO syndrome, and Osteoglophonic dysplasia.
