Failure of eruption may affect one or a number of teeth, in either the primary or the permanent dentition, and depending on the underlying etiology, it can be partial or complete absence of teeth in oral cavity. For proper diagnosis, the differential diagnosis of PFE should always begin with the exclusion of potential systemic and local factors which can affect the eruption of teeth. |
