Objective: A tooth with a dentigerous cyst (DC) does not always erupt by marsupialization. The eruption duration and conditions of DC-associated premolars were examined to predict such eruption following marsupialization.

Study Design: The eruption and conditions including depth, root formation, inclination, and eruption space were examined retrospectively in 21 DC-associated mandibular premolars using dental and panoramic radiograms.

Results: Fifteen of 21 premolars erupted half within 3 months and all 15 erupted completely within 10 months after marsupialization, without orthodontic traction. The age of the patients, tooth depth, and inclination were significantly different between the erupted and non-erupted groups, whereas there was no significant difference in the root formation or the eruption space between the 2 groups.

Conclusions: The successful eruption of a DC-associated premolar can be predicted within 3 months after marsupialization. Furthermore, the eruption may be affected by the patient's age, tooth depth, and tooth inclination.

Cutaneous (CLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are autoimmune diseases with a multifactorial pathogenesis. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the most important trigger of CLE; however, the degree of photosensitivity varies between the clinical subtypes. The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-important enzymes involved in skin turnover and homeostasis-is modulated by UVR.

The mixed dentition stage is a vital period characterized by significant physiological changes, including jaw growth, the development and eruption of permanent teeth, the exfoliation of primary teeth, and the maturation of surrounding soft tissues. These processes collectively ensure functional, esthetic, and stable occlusion. Disruptions during this stage, such as the premature loss of deciduous teeth, can lead to spacing or crowding issues and affect the dental arch length and the position of permanent teeth.

Tooth eruption as a crucial part in tooth development and regeneration is accompanied by ongoing osteogenesis and osteoclast activity. The dental follicle (DF) surrounding the developing tooth harbors dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs) which play a crucial role in maintaining bone remodeling. However, the mechanisms through which they regulate the balance between osteogenesis and osteoclast activity during tooth eruption remain poorly understood.
