AIM This was to assess the predictability of eruption of delayed permanent incisors after supernumerary removal and creation of adequate space, in relation to: root maturity, degree of vertical impaction, and degree of angulation of impaction. METHODS The dental records of children with supernumerary teeth delaying the eruption of permanent incisors were analysed. The type of a supernumerary ...
