Primary Failure of eruption: Orthodontic Overview

Time: 17:15-18:00

Abstract

Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is a rare disease defined as incomplete tooth eruption despite the presence of a clear eruption pathway. Orthodontic extrusion is not feasible in this case because it results in ankylosis of teeth. The aim of this lecture is to cover the definition, aetiology, diagnosis, and treatment options of PFE.
