Abstract

The aim of this study was to present new data on the time and sequence of primary and permanent tooth emergence in large sample of north Indian and to compare the finding with those of earlier studies. The results were significantly different from earlier literature on the eruption pattern in primary. Tooth emergence was advanced in girls compared with boys (p<0.001). Moreover, there is slightly delayed eruption of in north Indian as compared to Iraq and US. The results of this research prove valuable to dentists as well as anthropologists for comparison.
