title: The effect of primary tooth extraction on the eruption of succedaneous premolars.
abstract: This study evaluated the time of eruption of maxillary and mandibular premolars after the premature loss of the antecedent; the contralateral side was used as the control. Although environmental factors seem to influence tooth emergence, they appear to have little influence on tooth maturation.
