[Relationship between growth and tooth eruption. Relationship between growth and physical development and eruption of first permanent molars in São Paulo students].
In order to verify the relationship between the children's growth and their teeth's emergence the authors surveyed 1278 school children in São Paulo's Ipiranga District, 1024 from government controlled schools and 254 from a private school, finding their weight and height anthropometric measures related to the emergence of permanent molars. Their ages were four (completed) to eight incompleted). It was verified that the children from the private school presented in average higher weight and height than those from government controlled schools as well as higher percentages of first permanent molars erupted, in both the sexes and in all the age groups and that there was a positive association between the children's growth and their teeth's emergence.
