To study the eruption pattern of the mandibular first permanent molar, the author took 263 cases of Oblique Cephalogram from age 3 to 6 years old children and observed the vertical and mesiodistal directional change and tooth axis change. The following results were obtained.; 1. The eruption pattern of the mandibular first permanenl molar was changed at about 60~66 months or calcification stage IX. 2. At the early stage, the path of eruption of the mandibular first permanent molar directed upward and forward and after calcification stage IX it changed to the direction of upward. 3. The height of the alveolar bone of the upper part of the mandibular first permanent molar was almost equal to that of the interseptal bone of the first and second deciduous molar, but the height showed gradual descent afterwards. 4. At the early stage, the distance from the distal end of the mandibular second deciduous molar to the anterior portion of the ascending ramus was 1.2~1.4 times larger than the mesio-distal diameter of the mandibular first permanent molar, but at the later stage it was enlarged 1.7~1.9 times larger than the mesiodistal diameter of the mandibular first permanent molar.

To Study the eruption pattern of the maxillary first permanent molar, the author took 266 cases of true lateral cephalogram (Male; 137 cases, Female; 129 cases) from 3 to 7 years old children and observed the vertical change and axial change. The following results were obtained: 1. The angle of axial inclination of the maxillary first permanent molar to the F-H plane increased gradually from age 3 to 7, except for age 6 in both sexes. There was a slight reversal of this motion at age 6. 2. The distance from the cusp of the maxillary first permanent molar to the occlusal plane slightly decreased from age 3 to 5, and rapidly decreased from age 5 in both sexes. 3. The change of angle of the axial inclination resulted in the distance from the distobuccal cusp of the maxillary first permanent molar to the occlusal plane decreasing more than that from the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first permanent molar to the occlusal plane in both sexes. 4. The eruption of the maxillary first permanent molar generally was found to be earlier in girls than boys.

In order to evaluate the normal eruption time of the Korean permanennt teeth, the author had examined the eruption phases of permanent first molars in 778 males and 653 female children aged from 5 to 9-year old and analysed. The eruption was divided into 4 phases; the tip of the crown can be seen, the dull occlusal surface of the crown can be easily seen, the crown is not in contact with its antagonist, and the crown is in contact with its antagonist. The obtained results were as follows : 1. It seemed that percentage of the eruptingand erupted permanent first molar in female by age was higher than that of male. 2. In general, percentage of the erupting and erupted permanent first molar by age was higher than that of upper first molar. 3. In the correlation of age with the eruption phase, the regression equation were "y=0.43x+5.61" on male upper first molar, "y=0.41x+5.60" on male lower first molar, "y=0.44x+5.47" on female upper first molar, and "y=0.38x+5.57" on female lower first molar respectively.n female lower first molar respectively.

Statistically inquiring into dental health index of upper and lower first permanent molar for 1520 pupils of primary school in seoul. I got a conclusion as follows: 1. Lower first permanent molar was lower than upper first permanent molar in dental health index and conversely in DMF rate. 2. Elder pupils were lower than younger pupils in dental health index and conversely in DMF rate.

Ectopic eruption of the permanent first molar is defined as the eruption of the tooth in an abnormal position or orientation. It may causes distal root resorption and premature exfoliation of the adjacent primary second molar and uncontrolled space loss is followed. Prolonged partial impaction of the permanent molar may also cause undetected caries or abscess formation of the neighbor teeth. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief review regarding the etiology, classification, and different management techniques for correcting ectopic eruption of permanent first molar.

In order to provide a diagnostic basis for predicting the possibility of the self-correction of ectopic first permanent molars, differences among normal eruption, reversible and irreversible ectopic eruption of maxillary first permanent molars were retrospectively analyzed. The angles of the long axes and the occlusal lines between the maxillary first permanent molar and the adjacent tooth were measured by panoramic radiographs. The occlusal relationship of second primary molars was also investigated. There is a statistically significant difference between the ectopic eruption group and normal group (p < 0.05), but not between the reversible and irreversible ectopic eruption groups (p > 0.05). The angles between the second primary molar and the first permanent molar, the second primary molar and the second permanent molar in ectopic groups showed a smaller degree than those of the control group. Mesial step was found more frequently in the ectopic eruption group than the normal group. In conclusion, the angulation of the first permanent molar and tooth germ of the maxillary second permanent molar showed close relation with ectopic eruption of the maxillary first permanent molar and ectopic first permanent molar is likely to occur in class III patients with maxillary deficiency.

Eruptive disturbance of the permanent lower first molar is an uncommon condition caused by physical barriers on the eruption path or failure of the eruptive mechanism. Once eruptive disturbance of the permanent lower first molar is diagnosed. treatment should be started as soon as possible to establish a normal eruption pathway and to avoid any detrimental effects on the developing occlusion A case of primary retention of the mandibular first permanent molar treated with operculectomy and forced eruption which showed good treatment results and stability is described

Patient with alveolar abscess due to dental caries with severe alveolar bone loss, severe tooth mobility, root resorption need extraction of tooth because it is impossible to carry out pulp treatment and restoration by using conventional method. Early loss of primary molar might cause masticatory interference, extrusion of opposing tooth, problem in maintaining space and interference on eruption of permanent tooth. Especially, early loss of primary second molar before the eruption of permanent first molar might cause space closure by mesially erupted permanent first molar and impaction of second premolar. In such a case, distal shoe space maintainer and removable space regaining appliance was the first choice of treatment. But, distal shoe space maintainer need precise adaptation and might cause chronic inflammation if the oral hygiene is poor. In a case using removable space regaining appliance, patient's cooperation is most important. If the distal root of primary second molar is comparably sound and alveolar abscess with alveolar bone loss is localized at mesial root, hemisection should be carried out for precise guide to eruption of the permanent first molar, restoration of masticatory fuction and solution to the discomfort of the patient

Ectopic eruption means the eruption of the tooth in an abnormal position due to multiple factors, which found most frequently in maxillary fist permanent molars, mandibular lateral incisors and maxillary permanent canines. Ectopic eruption of the maxillary first permanent molar occurs when the molar erupts with a more mesial angulation than normal, and locks itself in an atypical resorption on the distobuccal root of the second primary molar. The maxillary first permanent molar plays important roles for mastication and occlusion, so ectopically erupted maxillary first permanent molars should be relocated into proper position. Treatment options are separation by insertion of the brass wire or elastic rings, preparation of distal aspect of the maxillary second primary molar, using fixed or removable appliance with finger spring, and placement of space maintainer or space regainer after extraction of the maxillary second primary molar. We report three cases treated of ectopically erupted maxillary first permanent molar by re-setting of stainless steel crowns, placement of brass wire and using active plate. We could find out distal movement of maxillary first permanent molars into proper position and normal occlusion.
