Abstract

Introduction – The order of tooth eruption is essential in determining the diagnosis and treatment for dentistry. One of the elements affecting tooth eruption is gender. In this regard, the pubertal growth spurt in boys is half to two years later than in girls. Aims – This study aims to examine the permanent teeth eruption status in children with normal nutritional status based on gender. Methods – This cross-sectional study involved 164 boys and girls as subjects, including 82 aged 6–7 years and 82 aged 10–11 years, and then the jaws were cast on them. The permanent teeth eruption status was determined by scoring each tooth (0 = not yet erupted, 1 = partially erupted, and 2 = fully erupted). Children aged 6–7 years old had their teeth 16, 26, 36, 46, 31, and 41 scored, while children aged 10–11 years old had their teeth 14, 15, 24, 25, 34, 35, 44, 45 scored. Mann-Whitney test was then employed to evaluate the difference in eruption status between boys and girls. Findings – The p-value = 0.01 in tooth 16; p = 0.029 (26); p = 0.000 (36); p = 0.000 (46); p-values for 31, 41, 14, 24, 15, 25, 34, 44, 35, and 45 were > 0.05. It indicates that the eruption status of teeth 16, 26, 36, and 46 differed significantly between boys and girls but not for teeth 26, 31, 41, 14, 24, 15, 25, 34, 44, 35, and 45. Implication – This study can be utilized to guide dental treatment decisions, particularly orthodontic therapy, based on the patient’s gender.
