Abstract :
Background: Tooth eruption might used as predictor of child age when the chronologic age is unknown. Beside the dental maturity, tooth eruption is also influenced by some factors, such as caries and tooth extraction. Purpose:The aim of this research was to examine the relationship of maturity and eruption of permanent teeth with chronologic age in mixed dentition period children. Methods: The subjects were patients of Prof. Soedomo Dental Hospital Pediatric Dental Clinic, consist of 38 boys and 39 girls in the aged of 6-12 years. The tooth eruption data was taken by counting the permanent teeth in intra oral examination. The dental maturity was assessed by Dermijian method from dental panoramic radiology. The data were statistical analyzed by regresion-correlation and t-test program of SPSS 16.0 for Windows. results: Maturation of permanent teeth in each of age group was more advanced in girls than boys. However, only groups of 7, 8 and 11 years were showed significant different (p<0.05), while for tooth eruption there was no significant difference (p>0.05). The coefficient correlation between tooth eruption, chronologic age and dental maturation scores were relative high, between 0.75–0.86 (p<0.01). The contribution of chronologic age and dental maturation to predict tooth eruption (R2) were 58–73.6%. The Dermijian method predicted age 0.83 years higher. Conclusion: There were close relationship between chronologic age, Dermijian method dental maturity, and eruption of permanen tooth, and could be used as predictor for eruption of permanent teeth in the mixed dentition period children. The Dermijian method predicted 0.83 years older than the chronologic age.
